[PATCH] IB/ehca: Fix static rate if path faster than link

From: Joachim Fenkes
Date: Wed Nov 28 2007 - 08:47:21 EST


The formula would yield -1 for this, which is wrong in a bad way (max
throttling). Clamp to 0, which is the correct value.

This fixes another regression introduced in rc3.
Please review and apply for 2.6.24-rc4. Thanks!
