Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for the catches. Most were simple fixes, and I used your
cleanup suggestions for others. Will resend shortly.

Question on the maintenance: does this new driver file need a maintainer,
or does it fall under arch/x86/pci/ umbrella? I'm happy to supply updates
and/or fixes once this is merged, but I just want to understand who to
direct patches/pull requests to if the need arises.
