Wrt the other qla2xxx improvements in this PULL request..

They where originally intended for v4.11-rc1, but missed the merge
window due to a regression reported on the list.

Since then, they have gone through 4 revisions over the last 7 weeks,
and Cavium/QLogic folks have addressed the outstanding regression +
feedback, and this series has passed their internal Q/A testing.

So while I acknowledge they aren't all strictly bug-fixes (5 of them are
CC'ed for stable), all are self contained within qla2xxx and I do trust
the Cavium/QLogic team's sign-off for the complete series.

Please consider pulling the series.
