Traditional SLI4 required the driver to clear Valid bits on EQEs and CQEs after consuming them. The new if_type=6 hardware will cycle the value for what is valid on each queue itteration. The driver no longer has to touch the valid bits. This also means all the cpu cache dirtying and perhaps flush/refill's done by the hardware in accessing the EQ/CQ elements is eliminated.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
