Hi Ingo,

I updated that patch to not remove any code, but instead there is now a
config option to enable or disable UV1 support, as well as an config help
message on why that might be done.  I also addressed the other issues
you raised in the following 2 emails.  And I found out that the newer
"checkpatches" script also had some new "concerns".  I was able to fix
all that were possible (or practical).

The patches follow...

Thanks!
Mike
