It really would work, once the few remaining architectures move away from asserting that the 'struct device' passed in is a pci device. It seems like the best way forward to me. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
