Well, in the past it's seemed more like patches have been rejected not
because of a blanket refusal to consider support for certain hardware,
but rather because of issues with the patches themselves. eg last
year when Chelsio submitted some TOE hooks, you wrote the following
<http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112382991506811&w=2>
>> There is no way you're going to be allowed to call such deep TCP

which looks like a very good reason to reject the changes.

There's definitely been quite a bit of conflation between the two in
this thread, even if you're not responsible...
