It was posted a number of times to lkml in December, and it was commented on by a few different people, and the patch went through a few different revisions. It also was in the -mm tree for awhile. > I also think it's the wrong approach to take -- weren't you working on > a generic way to have multiple drivers attach to the same device?

Here's a patch: Hm, in sleeping on it, I think I'll leave it, as it's worked out just fine for me for the past 2+ years I've been the PCI maintainer, this has been the first it has come up. But if it really annoys you, how about just adding another L: entry for it, so people can choose where they want to go?
