 I know, however for that the whole driver's messaging system would have 
to be redesigned.  Joe (cc-ed) has offered to do it with the original 
iteration, however I believe consensus has been it will best be done as a 
separate follow-up change, while this small fix can be easily backported.

 NB this driver may not see a lot of SMP use as I reckon it's had some 
portability issues, and in any case the hardware requires port I/O which 
precludes its use with some of the most recent PCIe systems which do not 
support PCI I/O cycles anymore.  And older systems were often UP.  Not 
that the driver should not be kept in a clean style of course.
