... and it has non-pci stuff in there too. Guess it would make sense to split stuff into multiple queues (acpi, pc, acpi, virtio, ...). Helps to keep the size reasonable. I think it works better overall, even if it is annoying at times when there are patch dependencies between branches. cheers, Gerd
