Some QSFP modules have more eeprom to be read by ethtool than the initial high and low page 0 that is currently available in the DSC's ionic sprom[] buffer. Since the current sprom[] is baked into the middle of an existing API struct, to make the high end of page 1 and page 2 available a block is carved from a reserved space of the existing port_info struct and the ionic_get_module_eeprom() service is taught how to get there. Newer firmware writes the additional QSFP page info here, yet this remains backward compatible because older firmware sets this space to all 0 and older ionic drivers do not use the reserved space.

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.
