No problem, take your time. I did my best to test it, but I agree that this is a critical area of the code, and it would be desirable to get additional scrutiny and test feedback. The code has been running in our system (P2020 and P5040) for several months. I was preparing a patch for upstream submission when I noticed commit 37f02195b. After testing ithis commit, I noticed the problems with it and wrote this patch, which aligns the code with our initial patch. I tested it as good as I could on our systems as well as with a P5040 evaluation board and an Intel GE PCIe card. Thanks, Guenter
