    Correct. EM extensions exist since v1.3. But implementation before Gen2
    switches relied
    on proprietary device specific mechanism (tsi57x). Addition of Gen2
    switches just
    pushed forward the standard implementation. The RIO standard methods may
    be used on 1.3 switches
    (tested on tsi57x) as well as the standard routing table operations that
    have been added
    in our patches for 2.6.35.
