Unfortunatly, I've applied a bunch of patches since the last linux-next
tree.

It would be nice if I could have taken a bunch of these changes, and if
it was broken up into individual patches (each either doing only one
spelling change, or only operating on one driver/file) then I could
have.  But as it is, I can't :(

So, another reason it makes sense to break patches up into the logical
pieces.  Please do this and resend.

thanks,
