Hi!
Merging the TTM branch with function name changes will probably be a 
nightmare and create a huge number of merge conflicts.

I'm also a bit curious about what's behind the VIANamedFunction formatting?
Both the openChrome coding style (as documented on the wiki) and the 
Xorg coding style calls for
