[PATCH v3 00/13] QLogic VNIC Driver

[Ramachandra K <ramachandra.kuchimanchi@qlogic.com>]

Roland,

This is the third round of QLogic Virtual NIC driver patch series for submission
to 2.6.27 kernel. The series has been tested against your for-2.6.27 branch.

Based on comments received on second series of patches, following fixes are
introduced in this series:

        -  Removal of CONFIG_INFINIBAND_QLGC_VNIC_DEBUG option.
        -  Making few function definitions static.
        -  Removed un-necessary extern declarations.

The sparse endianness checking for the driver did not give any warnings and
checkpatch.pl have few warnings indicating lines slightly longer than 80 columns.

Background:
As mentioned in the first version of patch series, this series adds QLogic
Virtual NIC (VNIC) driver which works in conjunction with the the QLogic
Ethernet Virtual I/O Controller (EVIC) hardware. The VNIC driver along with the
QLogic EVIC's two 10 Gigabit ethernet ports, enables Infiniband clusters to
connect to Ethernet networks. This driver also works with the earlier version of
the I/O Controller, the VEx.

The QLogic VNIC driver creates virtual ethernet interfaces and tunnels the
Ethernet data to/from the EVIC over Infiniband using an Infiniband reliable
connection.
