V6:
   In patch 8/31, move the existing neigh_release() call right before the
   if(!e) test, that way you don't need a completely new label and code block
   to fix this bug - thanks to review by David Miller
   In patch 15/31, use %pad to print dma_addr - thanks to review by Joe Perches
   In patch 10/31, add the "STOPPED" state string to db_state_str - thanks
   to review by Steve Wise
   In patch 10/31, t4_db_dropped() needs to disable dbs and send DB_FULL
   event to iw_cxgb4 - thanks to review by Steve Wise
V5:
   Dropped patch "cxgb4: use spinlock_irqsave/spinlock_irqrestore for db lock".

I do not see the spinlock patch reinstated, part of it was correct and
fixed a real bug.  For the second time, I only stated that parts of it
were superfluous, not all of it.

Ok we can reinstate this patch and remove the bits from 10/31 if that's what you prefer.

Steve.

BTW: From my earlier reply explaining that we didn't drop the needed fixes:

The remaining changes from the removed patch are moved into patch 10/31
(Doorbell Drop Avoidance Bug Fixes).  10/31 has the driver call
disable_txq_db() from an interrupt handler, and I thought it would be
better to put all the changes to fix how the db lock is acquired into
this one patch.
