Ok. I just posted the first one. It's still pretty big since it hits every
comedi driver file.

Please ignore the first post. I fat-fingered the prototype in the header.
v2 is correct.

Also, I have never done local commits to my Linux-next tree so I'm not
sure how to proceed with the incremental patches. If it's ok with you
I'll just wait for each patch to go into staging.

Hartley
