Tyrel,

> Recent updates in pHyp Firmware and VIOS releases provide new
> infrastructure towards enabling Subordinate Command Response Queues
> (Sub-CRQs) such that each Sub-CRQ is a channel backed by an actual
> hardware queue in the FC stack on the partner VIOS. Sub-CRQs are
> registered with the firmware via hypercalls and then negotiated with
> the VIOS via new Management Datagrams (MADs) for channel setup.
>
> This initial implementation adds the necessary Sub-CRQ framework and
> implements the new MADs for negotiating and assigning a set of
> Sub-CRQs to associated VIOS HW backed channels.

Applied to 5.12/scsi-staging, thanks!
