I'm sponsoring this on behalf of Sukumar.  It probably qualifies for automatic
approval, but as this is the first "converged" NIC driver, I felt it better
to give others a chance to respond. 

This case is seeking Patch binding.

	 qlge - QLogic PCIe converged NIC driver
    1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier:
	 Author:  Sukumar Swaminathan
    1.3  Date of This Document:
	30 September, 2009
4. Technical Description
This qlge driver will support Qlogic PCIe Converged Network Adapter.
The driver and adapter will support 10GB interface only.
10GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-CX4 PHY layers will be supported.
Model numbers for initial Qlogic adapers are QLE8152, QLE8142 and QLE8140.

Source code for this qlge driver will be coming from Qlogic.
This driver will be open sourced in Nevada and will also go into
s10u9. Patch binding is needed for s10u9 support.
Driver will be integrated into ON Consolidation.

This is a gldv3 based driver. This will support core gldv3
functions on both SPARC and x86 platforms.
Brussels and LSO offload Features will be supported in Nevada only.
HW checksum offload and Jumbo frames Features
will be supported in both Nevada and S10.

Driver source will be open.
This case should be run as Open case.

While it's probably me being dense, if this is worthy of a fasttrack
because it's a "converged" NIC driver, it seems worth defining what that
actually means in the case materials.

Both NIC and FC functionality are converged into one Chip.
FC traffic will be handled by the existing qlc(emlxs for Emulex) driver.
This new qlge(oce) driver is for handling NIC part of the HW.

So separate PCI functions, then?
