Two quesions for this patch and et al friend patches to come somehow soon: what happens if someone burns the new firmware on an IB system which runs the mlx4 code before the patch? also, what happens if someone runs the patched mlx4 on a system on which the firmware isn't this newest, shouldn't a check for the firmware version to be >= X be added to the driver? As for the 1st case (old code, new firmware), I recall there was a similar situation couple of months or maybe little more ago, Jack, I think you were involved in the solution, correct?
