Hi David:

I think networking tree merge it is a better choice, as it mainly used to tell 
the NIC
drivers how to use the Relaxed Ordering Attribute, and later we need send patch 
to enable
RO for ixgbe driver base on this patch. But I am not sure whether Bjorn has 
some of his own
view. :)

Hi Bjorn:

Could you help review this patch or give some feedback ?

Thanks

Which tree should merge this?  The PCI tree or my networking tree?
