====================
qed: Management interaction & feature changes
All patches in this series either affect direct interaction with the
management firmware, or changes logic relating to some values retrieved
from it.
Patch #1 revises the basic logic for sending messages to the management
firmware and there completion, and is the most significant [at least
code-wise] of the bunch.
Patch #2 changes infrastrcure in a way that should better protect us form
mistakes leading to stack corruption such as was fixed in
bb48024284 ("qed: Prevent stack corruption on MFW interaction").
Patch #3 corrects some update API endian issue [sent here as it would
create conflicts with #2, and because it's lack would create a rather
insignifcant problem].
Patch #4 removes some unnecessary logging, allowing cleaner forward
compatibility with future management firmware versions.
Patches #5, #6 slightly change the number of possible L2 queues in some
scenarios, leading to the possibility of having more queues / VFS.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
