Newer firmware can use the NQ ring ID associated with each RX/RX AGG ring to enable PCIe Steering Tags on P5_PLUS chips. When allocating RX/RX AGG rings, pass along NQ ring ID for the firmware to use. This information helps optimize DMA writes by directing them to the cache closer to the CPU consuming the data, potentially improving the processing speed. This change is backward-compatible with older firmware, which will simply disregard the information.

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 reStructuredText 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.
