My apologies for the confusion.
I was out of action for almost a month. As I got back few days back,
I noticed that the patch to include the new PCI IDs was pushed to
the stable kernel. So, I gathered the changes necessary for supporting the
new generation of ASIC, that were made in my absence and spun this patch.

When I mailed the patch, I was not sure when to CC stable@...nel.org
We would like to have the PCI Ids for BladeEngine 3 in 2.6.32 kernel.

Dave,
I plan rectify the error pointed by Ben and Greg and spin the patch again and
resend it.  Please let me know if you think otherwise.

Thanks
Ajit
