Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] NetXen: 64-bit memory fixes

Please don't mix whitespace and other fixes at same time.
Add a cleanup patch at beginning or end of series.

Please don't add other things like the driver name this in with bounce buffer
patch. Why the name change from netxen to netxen_nic?

Magic number? is this safe? why? there is a Documentation
file for these magic-number.txt.

Parens unnecessary here.
