This is too big. I'm taking it, but there's something wrong in this. Your merges after -rc1 have generally been way too large, and I need to shut you down if this gets to be a big pattern. It's one thing taking a totally new driver (that couldn't have worked before and cannot be a regression) or adding new PCI ID's. It's a totally different thing to take 800 lines of code to an old driver that people depend on. These things need to happen during the merge window, and just because they are drivers doesn't mean that they can just do anythign they want. Linus
