This series is still not dividing up changes into small functional chunks. It
"ping pongs" (adding then later removing code), and makes it difficult to review
functional changes by surrounding them with non-functional transformations. As
I've attempted to break this apart myself, I've discovered a few issues with the
code - see the responses to the individual patches.

You can find my broken up version here:
http://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86.git/shortlog/refs/heads/review-dvhart-mellanox-v10

In particular, please see:
http://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86.git/commit/4f0057fc3da29c04e2cefca9dc5b17577b3e4988

Vadim, please respond to my questions re the individual patches, and I'll
increment the patches in the above branch before pushing this up to testing.
