Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH 1/1] cxgb3i: cxgb3 iSCSI initiator

 > Cxgb3i iSCSI driver

I think a little more detail in the changelog would be
helpful... something like what you had in the 0/1 email (no reason to
put that nice info in an email that will be discarded rather than in the
patch that will be merged).  Maybe:

  The cxgb3i driver provides iscsi acceleration (PDU digest offload and
  payload direct-placement) to the open-iscsi initiator.  It accesses
  the hardware through the cxgb3 module.

I didn't read in detail yet but one quick comments:

I don't see any other Kconfig changes that hook this Kconfig file into
the build?  Also are there sufficient dependencies to avoid broken
configs here?
