[net-2.6 PATCH 0/9] Neterion: New driver: vxge: Resubmit #2

[Ramkrishna Vepa]

The following series of 9 patches are a resubmission of Neterion's new driver,
"vxge", for our latest PCIe based X3100 10GbE Server/Storage Adapter. 

Changes from the last submission -
1. Fixed compilation error on a 32 bit platform (x86) - added readq/writeq 
implementation for the driver for 32 bit systems - reported by Dave Miller.

2. Removed the pci-ids file from the patch series as it's been 
depricated - Dave Miller.

3. As per Stephen Hemminger's comments removed the following loadable 
parameters - gro, rx_& tx max_indicate_pkts, exec_mode, rx & tx pause_enable,
tx_steering_type and intr_type.

4. Some more clean up - removed a few unused statistics and variables.

Thanks,

Ram

Dave,

This series of 9 patches are a resubmission of Neterion's "vxge"
driver. We've fixed the problems observed on the sparc64, ppc64 and IA64 
plaforms. The driver has undergone a short test cycle on these platforms
as well as x86 and x86_64 systems.

A summary of changes from the last submission -
1. Fixed compilation warnings and errors on sparc64, IA64 and PPC64 - Reported
by Dave Miller.
2. Fixed aligned memory access warnings due to compare_ether_addr on sparc64.
3. Fixed sparse warning on IA64 with CONFIG_VXGE_DEBUG_TRACE_ALL enabled.
4. General clean up in patches 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Thanks,

Ram

While the horse has already left the barn, I'll go ahead and add that I've done 
some basic netperf stuff on IA64 with the card using the driver in the net-2.6 
tree and so will say:
