[dcmf] Lockless ROMIO driver

[Rob Ross]

Hi Joe,

I agree that in general we must be careful that patches are provided  
under a consistent license. In the case of Argonne patches to this  
software, we are providing patches under the same license and  
copyright under which the code was originally written. Can we fast- 
track these?

Thanks,

Rob
