backort of v2.0.16-k2 ixgbe driver to MRG v1 kernel
backport patch from acme
patch queued for -138 build Verified by checking that update-ixgbe-for-MRG-1.1-kernel-to-version-2.0.16-k2.patch was implemented in the kernel-rt-2.6.24.7-139.src.rpm CVS: update-ixgbe-for-MRG-1.1-kernel-to-version-2.0.16-k2.patch mrg-rt-v1.git: b666870773f11df67bf0797c1dc54456da458ad8 Moving to verified after having done several netperf tests, resulting in over 1TB of data flowing between two boxes with the Intel ixgbe based cards. Performance between stock RHEL-5.2 kernel and 2.6.24.7-139 rt-kernel was very much comparable and did not differ much at all. The driver seems to perform very well.
