I'm sponsoring this case for Jing Xiong. It is to provide a new
ethernet driver, cxge, for Chelsio T3 10 Gigabit Ethernet device.
The requested release binding is minor.
I have marked it as "closed approved automatic" since the change is
straightforward and the interface is clear. If there is request, I'd be
happy to upgrade it to a fast track and set the timer.

4. Technical Description
4.1. Details:
This project is to integrate a new driver named cxge for the Chelsio
Terminator 3 (T3) Ethernet controller into Solaris. This 10 Gb
Ethernet
controller is widely used by Solaris OEM partners.
The cxge driver is a Nemo based driver which provides basic
support for
the functions of the Chelsio T3 10 Gb Ethernet controller, including
chip initialization, frame transmit and receive, multicast and
promiscuous features.
The cxge driver supports Brussels, Suspend/Resume, and Fast Reboot.
This driver will be supported on both x86 and SPARC platforms.
