Correct. EM extensions exist since v1.3. But implementation before Gen2 switches relied on proprietary device specific mechanism (tsi57x). Addition of Gen2 switches just=20 pushed forward the standard implementation. The RIO standard methods may be used on 1.3 switches (tested on tsi57x) as well as the standard routing table operations that have been added in our patches for 2.6.35. =20
