It is obviously not the former.  I think that in general constant and 
other definitions (in their majority) should be in a header file.  I 
definitely like this way better.

Perhaps in this particular case my patch is a bit of an overkill as the 
code lines aren't that many.  If the consensus is in this direction i'll 
revert this part of the series.

This isn't WIP anymore as the W(ork) part is missing.  After so many quiet 
years i assume the experimental tag should be removed.

So first apply patch #1 and then patch #2.

However, if it is required for the driver to be in build-able form after 
applying any single patch i'll coalesce #1 and #2 before next submission.
