We discovered this when applying a future patch (2141c21966) and it 
exposed this issue.
Problem is we create a memzone per hardware queue pair and if the 
memzone name is too large, then this code will not produce a unique
name and two qps will end using the same memzone.
In retrospect, I'll wait for Pablo to apply that future patch and then 
re-base a v2.

Fair point will send in the v2.
