Zusammenfassung:	Processing of frames from a receive queue maintained by a port firmware of an embedded port of a host bus adapter is suspended via a request from a driver of the host bus adapter. New driver software is loaded for the host bus adapter and new port firmware is loaded in the embedded port, in response to the suspending of the processing of frames from the receive queue. The processing of frames from the receive queue is resumed via another request from the driver of the host bus adapter, in response to the loading of the new driver software and the new port firmware.
