Yep :)

Thanks.  If you are so motivated, I tend to think it can work without
the Promise headers.  For example, there is a distinct naming scheme in
libata, and also intentional use of enums rather than macros as
constants.

However, that said, you're doing the work, so I'll let you make the call :)
