> several bugs and limitations at the same time.
> 
> v2:
>  - Bugfix for a possible crash when allocating mbufs.
>  - Several API changes following the release of Mellanox OFED 3.0.
>  - Performance improvements made possible by the new API.
>  - Add TX checksum offloads.
>  - Update documentation to reflect the changes.
>
