Hi,

I'm now subscribed to the list, so there isn't any critical need to keep
me in CC unless the traffic is high.

Yes, I should be running a newer kernel, but IMHO the driver should also
output an error message, rather than just exit(1); this isn't very
intuitive for the user.

Perhaps it would be nice to have proper API/ABI breaks, too...
