Darren, I believe you are confusing this entire situation.
And I should have suspected this when you were responding
to my test requests instead of Peter.

Peter had a problem on a 16-way HP machine, and the patch
that I just gave to you is nearly identical to his which
he said makes his problem go away.

Are you having the same problem on the same configuration or
are you hoping this fixes some other tg3 bug that you happen
to be seeing?
