Hi Jim,
I work for Cavium and came to know that you would be accepting patches
for inclusion into CentOS 7.3 this week.

We have few NIC driver patches that we would like inclusion into
CentOS 7.3 kernel and not present in RHEL 7.3. Could you please pick
these? Or do you prefer sending patches to this list ?
