This patch fixes a nasty bug that has been sitting there since the very first
versions of the driver, but is generating a panic because we changed the number
of 2K buffers for 2.6.16.
The consumer_index and producer_index are u32's that get
ls, we unregister and then try again.
We don't unconditionally unregister, because we don't want to disturb the
regular code path for 99% of users.

This patch changes the name of the proc file for each ibmveth adapter from the
network device name to the slot number in the virtual bus.
The proc file is created when the device is probed, so a change in the name of
the device will not be reflec

This patch adds the net poll controller function to ibmveth to support
netconsole and netdump.

Hi Jeff,
Can you apply the following patches (hopefully for 2.6.19)? They are the
hardening of the initialization for kexec, adding netpoll, and some small fixes
for bugs that people have been running into.
Thanks,

This patch fixes a race that panics the kernel when opening the device after a
kdump. Without this patch there is a window where the hypervisor can send an
interrupt before all the structures for the kdump ibmveth module are ready

The current ibmveth driver has a fixed number of buffers per buffer pool
and under certain workloads, it's running out of buffers. So I would
like to be able to change the number of buffers in each pool at runtime.
The way most drivers do it is with ethtool -G and/or module parameters.
