    Toshi,

    This patch hasn't gone through sufficient new functionality testing as
    the only testing that was done was exercising it with stubbed out
    firmware calls. I am not clear on how much regression testing this patch
    has undergone. Sorry, it doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.
