Subject: [PATCH 1/1] myri10ge: limit the number of recoveries

From: Brice Goglin <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 19:08:34 +0200

Limit the number of recoveries from a NIC hw watchdog reset to 1 by default.
It enables detection of defective NICs immediately since these memory parity
errors are expected to happen very rarely (less than once per century*NIC).
