Works for me.  Aside from the typo:

My only comment is that we flipped back and forth on whether or not to print 
info on driver initialization.  I like it because I have to go add the prints 
in to debug things, but IIRC we removed it at some point (probably more than 
once, as I have to keep adding these sorts of things back in and forget to 
remove them).

The review stands either way :)
