I'm a bit skeptical that it is the right approach. These patches have
been here for monthes, and even you failed to ack and test these
patches on the drivers you wrote. As a matter of fact, only Laurent,
Linus, Ludovic and Stephen looked at their respective changes. After 3
monthes and 6 versions.

At some point, cleanups have to come in.
