Hi,

Lets see that we're on the same page here:
1. There was a compilation problem that you fixed (Yes, it was my fault
- I just discovered it a minute after the code was applied).
2. When you're using SR-IOV, during initialization, you get a CQE error
with syndrome 0x2 on one of the probed VF's.
3. Regarding the BlueFlame - I don't see how it is related to the issue
that you see. But it is a very easy experiment. Issue: "ethtool
--set-priv-flags eth1 blueflame off"

Please send me the module parameters you used when loading mlx4_core, a
full dmesg with both mlx4_core and mlx4_en loading.

Amir.
