My story is that I've since switched employers twice since Feb, and will
be resubmitting the patch now that sanity has returned to my life.
I'm planning to get to it within the next week.

As far as Tobias's driver, one major difference between our drivers is
that mine doesn't grab the entire PCI device.  This is because other
drivers (ie, the MFGPT driver) will want to share the PCI device.
