qeth currently uses a fixed set of statically allocated cmd buffers for the read and write IO channels. This (1) doesn't play well with the single RCD cmd we need to issue on the data channel, (2) doesn't provide the necessary flexibility for certain IDX improvements, and (3) is also rather wasteful since the buffers are idle most of the time. Add a new type of cmd buffer that is dynamically allocated, and keeps its ccw chain in the DMA data area. Since this touches most callers of qeth_setup_ccw(), also add a new CCW flags parameter for future usage. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
