Hello Rolland,

Thanks for reviewing the port mapper patches.

Steve's reply is correct. 
Unpatched nes will not regress and will continue working as before.

Hey Roland,

cxgb3<->cxgb3 would behave as before; no regression.  cxgb3<->cxgb4/nes would 
interoperate only if the port mapping service is disabled on the cxgb4/nes 
nodes.  

Steve.
