Confused by this?? i40iw_upost_send does not handle the kernel numbers
at all, as far as I can see? How does it develop a kernel dependency??

Oh! This apparently got lost, thanks for bringing it up again.

Okay, but i40iw doesn't seem to support send with invalidate at all in
userspace?

i40iw_upost_send() swithces on opcode, doesn't handle SEND_INV and
then blows up in the default clause - how does this patch make any
difference???
