This patchset adds compatibility with the upcoming Mellanox OFED 3.0
release (new kernel drivers and userland support libraries), which supports
new features such as L3/L4 checksum validation offloads and addresses
several bugs and limitations at the same time.
v2:
- Bugfix for a possible crash when allocating mbufs.
- Several API changes following the release of Mellanox OFED 3.0.
- Performance improvements made possible by the new API.
- Add TX checksum offloads.
- Update documentation to reflect the changes.
