I'm sorry for all the style issues. I realize it's noise and should just 
be done right from the beginning. Is there a way to make checkpatch.pl 
catch these before they go out?

That's a tricky one. If you look at p. 185 of [1], items 9, 11, and 12 
are standard x16 cards that would fit in any x16 slot. Those cards have 
the offending switches.

On the one hand, you could take the cards and backplane and put them in 
a non-hax86 system. On the other hand, I don't see why someone would 
want to do this.
