13aef4942c [PATCH] IB/ipath: reduce overhead on receive interrupts
Also count the number of interrupts where that works (fastrcvint).  On any
interrupt where the port0 head and tail registers are not equal, just call the
ipath_kreceive code without reading the interrupt status, thus saving the
approximately 0.25usec processor stall waiting for the read to return.  If any
other interrupt bits are set, or head==tail, take the normal path, but that
has been reordered to handle read ahead of pioavail.  Also no longer call
ipath_kreceive() from ipath_qcheck(), because that just seems to make things
worse, and isn't really buying us anything, these days.

Also no longer loop in ipath_kreceive(); better to not hold things off too
long (I saw many cases where we would loop 4-8 times, and handle thousands (up
to 3500) in a single call).

f37bda9246 [PATCH] IB/ipath: memory management cleanups
Made in-memory rcvhdrq tail update be in dma_alloc'ed memory, not random user
or special kernel (needed for ppc, also "just the right thing to do").

Some cleanups to make unexpected link transitions less likely to produce
complaints about packet errors, and also to not leave SMA packets stuck and
unable to go out.

A few other random debug and comment cleanups.

Always init rcvhdrq head/tail registers to 0, to avoid race conditions (should
have been that way some time ago).

d41d3aeb76 IB/ipath: core driver header files
ipath_common.h and ips_common.h contain definitions shared between
userspace and the kernel.

ipath_kernel.h is the core driver header file.

ipath_debug.h contains mask values used for controlling driver debugging.

ipath_registers.h contains bitmask definitions used in chip registers.
