IXP4XX queues

IXP4XX queues

[Miguel Ángel Álvarez]

Hi

Last December we talked about 64 queues and IXP4XX. Karl has a patch
for them, and although I think it could be better to splitt it into
two different ones ("plain 64 queue expansion" for which I proposed a
modified patch based on Karl's, and "debugging and other things"), I
prefer Karl's to none.

What do you think of this? Which should be the best way to include it
in the main stream kernel?

Thanks

Miguel Ángel

The patch needs minor  rework so it  applies cleanly against 2.6.29-rc2 
at the moment i don't have time to do this and test it.

I do not have much problem in doing that rework myself. However I need
help in making its way into the kernel, because I have not good
experiences in that.

I will look at this stuff again soon, currently -ENOTIME but this
condition will only last for few days. Thanks for the reminder.
