Edward,

Ah darn, I wish we would have caught this earlier in the series development,
but it's better to do fix it now rather than after the uapi has been included in
a kernel.

Darren,

I think I should adjust the series for this change to
s/class/cmd_class; s/select/cmd_select/
.
As ->class is used in many patches in the series, it will require be better to
resend as v12 rather than a single patch that changes this one thing.

I'll send it later this afternoon.

Thanks,
