Since we are both already using this and have been for a while now, I hope it
can go up into the mainstream instead of continuing to exist only in Altera
and Xilinx's git trees.

I'm sure you are doing it right.

The FPGA gets programmed, but state wasn't getting updated.
Should have "mgr->state = FPGA_MGR_STATE_OPERATING" here.
Will add in v11.

Thanks for the review and the ack.  If you see anything else that seems
