So this will not work for the ice driver and/or irdma drivers?  It would
be great to see how they work for this as well as getting those
maintainers to review and sign off on this implementation as well.
Don't ignore those developers, that's a bit "odd", don't you think?

To drop them from the review process is actually kind of rude, what
happens if this gets merged without their input?

And the name, why was it changed and what does it mean?  For non-native
english speakers this is going to be rough, given that I as a native
english speaker had to go look up the word in a dictionary to fully
understand what you are trying to do with that name.

Naming is hard, but I think this name is really hard to explain and
understand, don't you think?

thanks,
