BTW, the rest of your patch set is likely to not apply
correctly after you fix this patch up.  So at a minimum
you'll need to resubmit this whole set after fixing
patch #2.

In fact I would recommend that you seperate the bug
fixes from all of the massive cleanups.

Get the bug fixes, especially the PCI READ MULTIPLE
disable one, into net-2.6

Then afterwards you can do all of the cleanups against
net-next-2.6 when the bug fixes propagate there.

Thank you!
