I am fully aware of my responsibility to make sure the drivers work. 
I'm not sure how this slipped under the radar but I did type "make" on 
every driver I had checked out.  My apologies for this.  Fixing 
regressions associated with the merge has been my first priority.

However, if we're going to make comparisons to the Linux development 
model I would point out that cc'ing the relevant people is part of that 
process, and I wasn't cc'ed on Dave's patches or the regression bug 
report, if any.  Like many of you I subscribe to numerous lists, 
including LKML, so I am not able read all list traffic.

I will take a look at the patches that have already been committed and I 
will make sure that the same code base compiles under both API versions. 
  There should only need to be #ifdef's in one or two places to 
accomplish this.  Again I apologize for this, and if there are any other 
drivers that need attention please notify me.
