Mini (compressed) CQEs are returned by the NIC when PCI back pressure is
detected, in which case the first CQE64 contains common packet information
followed by a number of CQE8 providing the rest, followed by a matching
number of empty CQE64 entries to be used by software for decompression.
What does CQE stand for "compressed queue entry" or something else. As I've asked
others submitting driver patches, please explain out all acronyms used in the
commit message. 
CQE is a Completion Queue Entry.
A good rule of thumb is - if it's not checked for capitalization in the
check-git-log.sh script, it's uncommon and needs to be expanded out in commit
messages.

Right, I agree with this rule too.
