> This patch series adds support for the FM10000 Ethernet switch host
> interface.  The Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch is a 48-port Ethernet switch
> supporting both Ethernet ports and PCI Express host interfaces.  The fm10k
> driver provides support for the host interface portion of the switch, both
> PF and VF.
> 
> As the host interfaces are directly connected to the switch this results in

> v3: converted the use of smb_mb__before_clear_bit() to smb_mb__before_atomic()
>     added vmalloc header to patch 15
>     added prefetch header to patch 16
