Does this double up the merge commit though? I see this in Saeed's
tags/mlx5e-updates-2018-05-17 ?

    mlx5-updates-2018-05-17
    
    mlx5 core dirver updates for both net-next and rdma-next branches.
    
    From Christophe JAILLET, first three patches to use kvfree where needed.
    
    From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@...lanox.com>
    
    Next six patches from Roi and Co adds support for merged
    sriov e-switch which comes to serve cases where both PFs, VFs set
    on them and both uplinks are to be used in single v-switch SW model.
    When merged e-switch is supported, the per-port e-switch is logically
    merged into one e-switch that spans both physical ports and all the VFs.
    
    This model allows to offload TC eswitch rules between VFs belonging
    to different PFs (and hence have different eswitch affinity), it also
    sets the some of the foundations needed for uplink LAG support.

I think the trouble is the Saeed needs to merge the 'core' stuff to
create the non-core patches for netdev (just like we want to do for
rdma)

So maybe netdev should take the #2 pull request and rdma should
take number #1?

This seems to be working OK from RDMA's side, we have much less netdev
stuff in our tree now which seems good!

Thanks,
Jason
