This is a repost of the I/OAT patches, the only changes from last time
are refreshing the patches and removing an unused macro that was causing
the vger spam filters to drop patch 2/9.
This patch series is the a full release of the Intel(R) I/O
Acceleration Technology (I/OAT) for Linux. It includes an in kernel API
for offloading memory copies to hardware, a driver for the I/OAT DMA memcpy
engine, and changes to the TCP stack to offload copies of received
networking data to application space.
These changes apply to Linus' tree as of commit
