If you want me to add this to -stable, you'll have to do the backporting
for me as this change doesn't come anywhere near to applying to v3.14.4
Thanks.

David,
Yep, I am willing to do this.
I haven't done some backporting job before, so not sure how to and which
attention I should pay.
I guess I should use this tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jirislaby/linux-stable.git
and apply it on tag v3.14.4?

That is Jiri's personal tree strictly for 3.12 -stable development.
The real -stable tree is at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
And you should make versions for the most recent tags for 3.14, 3.10, 3.4,
and 3.2

Ok, this may take some time to verify.
Could I backport it one version by one version? Or need to send out for these
four versions at the same time?

It's awkward for me to submit a fix for only one release, I submit a
specific set of fixes to all relevant -stable branches at one time.

David,
I have back port code to 3.14, 3.10 and verified.
While on 3.4, this kernel version doesn't work on our latest machine.
This is a latest Power Machine. I don't have a spare x86 machine to verify
this card. And this card is in US, while I am in China.
Is it possible to send out the code without verification? And ask help from
others, like Mellanox engineer? Otherwise this would be a little trouble.

Just do a best effort backport and make sure it compiles cleanly.

Got it, I will make sure it compiles on our platform.
