Hi,
This is intended for review by someone with more PCI experience, first.
If it is considered as safe as I think it is :), it would be great if this can be picked up ang go into stable kernels as well if the feedback is positive (just checked with .25, the patch still patches there, even without offset).
Thanks,
Thomas
