I reviewed this round of patches on the plane ... I'll respond to each
patch individually, but in general this all looks much better than the
first round I reviewed.

I need to review this driver; I haven't done that yet. Has anyone else?

The driver was rejected by the upstream developers, who said it would
never be accepted.

Sorry I didn't make it clear. These Physical Function driver patches are
new ones that have been accepted by David Miller (net-next-2.6).
The old ones I sent last time are for demonstration purpose, and won't
be in any upstream trees.
