Create host-owned DMA memory pools, for use in allocating/freeing per-port command/response queues and SG tables. This gives us a way to guarantee we meet the hardware address alignment requirements, and also reduces memory that

ACK patches 1-13

applied patches 1-9 to #upstream. patch #10 failed, with git-am reporting it as a corrupt patch.

That's weird.  I can save the email from linux-ide here,
and apply as a patch (after 01-09) with no issues at all.

Jeff got mail reader problems?

Here it is again, in case it got corrupted in transit to you.

Nope, not corrupted in transit or on this side. It falls into a familiar pattern:

* git-am(1) fails
* patch(1) succeeds
* when applying patch, patch(1) drops a .orig turd

So while patch(1) succeeds because patch(1) is highly forgiving and git-am(1) is more strict, something was definitely strange on that incoming email. patch(1) lets you know by giving you a .orig file, something not normally created if the patch operation was 100% sound.

ISTR Linus or Junio explaining why git-am(1) was more strict and why it was a good thing... As I did in this case, I usually just run patch(1), look carefully at the result using 'git diff HEAD', and then commit/resolve the changes.
