Various combinations of type and flags are used by device drivers to give some hints to users. Some users interpret these hints as seems to be intended by the drivers, others don't. Mismatches are caused by both drivers and users being confused and the whole system being less than clear. This patchset is part of a larger work trying to clean things up. Patches are fairly simple and shouldn't need any discussion. Jörn
