Heh, and sometimes those of us actually maintaining stuff just plain
change our mind when we see what something actually looks like in
practise.  :-)

In this case, the changes were intertwined enough that there wasn't
much benefit in keeping the arch and drivers stuff in separate
patches.

Thanks.  It's actually not that big.  I've seen (and created) much
worse.

Oops, I missed you comment here and replied to one of your patches
with a nonsensical comment about missing a header.  Sorry.  Everything
should be in order in my tree now.
