-1. Catastrophic event reset: catastrophic event handling has been expanded
-   to include resetting the device. After generating the IB_EVENT_DEVICE_FATAL
-   async event, mthca now resets the device (assuming that the
-   catas_reset_disable module parameter described above is zero).
-
-   Note that the reset entails removing then adding the device. For the device
-   to complete the reset, all user-level applications using device resources
-   directly via the user verbs layer must release those resources. Thus, such
-   applications should register to receive async events, should detect the
-   IBV_EVENT_DEVICE_FATAL event, and should release all resources for that
-   device upon receiving such an event.

 3. Fixed Bugs
 ===============================================================================
-1. mthca no longer misses restoring the following PCI-X/PCI Express
-   registers after reset:
-     o  PCI-X device: PCI-X command register
-     o  PCI-X bridge: upstream and downstream split transaction registers
-     o  PCI Express: PCI Express device control and link control registers
-2. Fence bit is now supported properly.
-3. Fixed modify_qp, modify_srq and resize_cq methods to be fully reentrant.
+1. Allocating many MRs (which uses many memory pages) causes kernel Oops. (490)
+2. Improve scheduling of kernel QPs in mthca. (542)
+3. Wrong mthca errors (e.g. CQ entry for unknown QP bd0406). (394)
+4. Kernel panic on boot when using Hide-DDR FW. (544)
+5. Off-by-one in FMR handling on MemFree can cause memory corruption. (424)
+6. InfiniHost III Lx: Data corruption when working with FMR (Influence on the
