Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/7] mlx4: Flexible (asymmetric) allocation of EQs and MSI-X vectors

Hi Dave,

This series from Matan Barak is built as follows:

The 1st two patches fix small bugs w.r.t firmware spec. Next
are two patches which do more re-factoring of the init/fini flow
and a patch that adds support for the QUERY_FUNC firmware command,
these are all pre-steps for the major patch of the series. In this
patch (#6) we change the order of talking/querying the firmware
and enabling SRIOV. This allows to remote worst-case assumption
w.r.t the number of available MSI-X vectors and EQs per function.

The last patch easily enjoys this ordering change, to enable
supports > 64 VFs over a firmware that allows for that.

Or.


Matan Barak (7):
  net/mlx4_core: Fix wrong reading of reserved_eqs
  net/mlx4_core: Use correct variable type for mlx4_slave_cap
  net/mlx4_core: Refactor mlx4_cmd_init and mlx4_cmd_cleanup
  net/mlx4_core: Refactor mlx4_load_one
  net/mlx4_core: Add QUERY_FUNC firmware command
  net/mlx4_core: Flexible (asymmetric) allocation of EQs and MSI-X vectors for PF/VFs
  net/mlx4_core: Support more than 64 VFs
