Not quite.  You need to add blank lines before and after
the new test you added.

I also wonder if you've in fact converted all of the
pci_pool struct and function uses why a new checkpatch
test is needed at all.

Also, it seems none of these patches have reached lkml.
Are you sending the patch series with MIME/html parts?
