Hello Mike,

Regarding testing: I have primarily used my srp-test regression test 
suite to test this patch series because that test suite uncovered a 
dm-mq race that was not discovered by mptest. I'm currently running 
xfstests (to verify an ib_srp change that is not in this patch series) 
and will run mptest next.

You are right that patch 2 should come after patch 7. The order of the 
other patches in this series should be fine.

Bart.
