4. Technical Description
    This case adds support for Intel 10GbE PCI Express Adapter Driver
    into ON.

    The architecture of the Intel 10GbE PCI Express Adapter differs
    significantly from the Intel 82597EX based PCIX Adapter, which is
    supported by ixgb. An important new feature of this adapter is I/OAT
    (I/O Acceleration Technology) from Intel which will be helpful for
    performance improvement. So we introduce a new driver to support them.

    Intel has software license agreement with Sun to allow Sun integrate
    this driver and distribute the software in both source, and binary
    object code forms. This SLA also grants Sun the right to make 
    modification to the source code and distribute the modified driver
    in open source and binary forms.

    The driver supports x86/x64  and SPARC platform.

    The vendor ID and device ID of the chips supported are:
    	pciex8086,10C6
    	pciex8086,10C7
