> This patch series adds support for handling unaligned MPA packets.
> (FPDUs split over more than one tcp packet).
> When FW detects a packet is unaligned it fowards the packet to 
> the driver via a light l2 dedicated connection. The driver then 
> stores this packet until the remainder of the packet is received.
> Once the driver reconstructs the full FPDU, it sends it down
> to fw via the ll2 connection. Driver also breaks down any packed
> PDUs into separate packets for FW. 
> 
> Patches 1-6 are all slight modifications to ll2 to support additional
> requirements for the unaligned MPA ll2 client.
> 
> Patch 7 opens the additional ll2 connection for iWARP.
> Patches 8-12 contain the algorithm for aligning packets.
