ok, something like attached patches?

ixgbe change need more cleanup from ixgbe guys.

yuk, no.
I have a set of patches almost done.

good. includes update to those network drivers?

It provides 3 sysfs files (enable, disable, num_max_vfs);
callbacks for enable & disable.

why using three? only pass max_vfs should be enough...

aka pass 0 mean disabling, pass other value mean enabling.

i'm tied up until Monday on RHEL6, then I'll switch gears & post a set of
patches.

then upstream kernel?
thought RH only accept backporting only patches get into upstream already.
