============================================

<akepner:sgi.com>:
  o [TG3]: Fix ethtool -S
  o [TG3]: Make sure RX/TX flow control settings actually get set

<fsgqa:sgi.com>:
  o [XFS] Remove the 128K limitation on pagebuf_get_no_daddr() and allow the kmem_alloc() to fail.

<gnb:melbourne.sgi.com>:

<jpk:sgi.com>:
  o [XFS] xfs_iomap_write_delay() was doing speculative allocations without checking if there were any real blocks already in the speculative allocation area.

  o [XFS] Add support for allocating additional file space in stripe width sized chunks. A new fstab/mount option, "swalloc" has been defined. If specified when mounting a striped file system, allocation requests will be rounded up to a stripe width if the file size is >= stripe width, and the data is being appended to eof. The 'swalloc' option is "off" by default.
