Yes, ack

Not at all. I've kept from adding optimizations in the first pass. The 
patches following can implement the optimizations. Jens already has a 
patch for this in his tree. It also removes GFP_ATOMIC.

Agree. The q_suspended properly isn't necessary any more, I'll like to 
wait with this until its gone upstream, to keep the patch flow simple.

Yes. I'll prepare a patch and send it off to Jens.

Ack. I want to wait changing resume/suspend flow until its gone 
upstream. It should go into a separate patch.

Is it possible for a pci_driver->remove fn to be called during the probe 
phase? If not, then this could definitely be removed.

Thanks for taking the time to look through it.
