We're trying to keep the open source version of this header as close as 
possible to
the internal headers. Most likely VMware guys are going to be the 
primary maintainers this driver in the future, and having different 
names for the register values will be confusing, although I think you 
have a point.

V1 is present, but is using IO registers instead of fifo commands. 
Please see the "Implement GMR2 patch".

It's probably weird, but we're trying to keep the formatting of the 
original file for the register definitions.
