I think Fujita's plan of gradual and partial transformations is
legitimate, and his changes shouldn't be rejected because he simply
isn't modifying all of the interfaces used by this driver but rather
just a specific subset he is trying to transform across the tree.

Please rescind your objections.

Thanks.
