A global variable for a single .c file?  No.

Exporting functions with no users?  No.

Please fix up and make this stand-alone.  Or, if you are going to have
framework that others use, then submit those others at the same time.

I'm stopping reviewing here, sorry.

Please fix up and resend.

Also, please get some signed-off-by: from some internal Intel people.
Don't rely on me to do this type of work when you have lots of good
people inside that could have told you all of this already.  Without
other developer's sign-offs, I'm not going to look at future
submissions, sorry.

thanks,
