We plan on sending 2 new protocol drivers in the imminent future - both our RoCE [qedr] and iSCSI [qedi] drivers. As both submissions would be rather massive and in order to avoid collisions between them, the common infrastructure on the qed side was prepared as an independent patch-series to be sent ahead of those 2 submissions.
This patch series introduces in QED 2 new 'ids' - one for iscsi and one for roce. It then goes and adds logic required for configuring said protocols in HW. Notice it *doesn't* actually add any client using said ids, but rather only the infrastructure to allow their later usage. What this patch doesn't contain is the slowpath protocol-configuration toward the firmware. I.e., it contains register-setting logic, memory allocations, etc., but not actual flow-related configuration specific to the protocl. Those would be sent as part of the protocol driver submissions. Dave, Please consider applying this series to `net-next'.
