</div>Hi Chris, Valdis,<br>
<br>
This is certainly interesting, and something that we'd really want to<br>
try to get in upstream Linux since it's is so intrusive in the stack<br>
(we have actually done quite a bit of work in this area already that<br>
might be applicable). Posting patches against davem's net-next branch<br>
seems appropriate and you could certainly post them as RFC to start<br>
some conversation.<br>

</div><div><br></div><div><div>I'm happy to prepare these patches, which should be relatively straight-forward now that I have an active branch with them applied. I understand the urge to wait until further testing can be done, however I think getting this in front of more people sooner will dictate how that testing might proceed, and highlight any issues with the patch before more effort goes into it.</div>

Chris, if you'd rather start the conversation then let me know.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>
