Hey, it doesn't bother me at all, I want and need your reviews of those
portions that I don't know as well (i.e. the userspace api and
functionality.) So don't take it personally, the driver model isn't
that easy of a topic to mess with in places, loads of people get it
wrong.

I totally agree :)

Also, I want some Intel reviews on this, that should help make a lot of
these types of issues go away...
