Michal,
I am currently porting my altera fpga driver to work with your changes. Please go ahead and post your xilinx fpga driver patch, that would help accelerate my testing and give us a chance to give more feedback quickly and arrive a satisfactory solution that will work for more of the key players here.
Thanks, ALan
