Why are you asking me to validate that? Did you actually encounter a
problem with this?

I did not send any patches since I am not sure how would Roland would
like to handle these changes. There have been a few comments, and
there are some fixes that I pushed to OFED. Roland, would you like me
to send the patches against the iboe branch?

The counters patches will divert the code: for iboe it will not issue
a MAD to the firmware. It will use another command.
