I've put the fix in the branch (stable/xen-pcifront-fixes) that I will ask Linus
to pull.. but what options did you need to find this?

I tried to run this before putting your and Milton fix in:
konrad@phenom:~/tar/stanse-1.1.2$ java -jar ./stanse.jar ~/work/linux/drivers/pci/xen-pcifront.c
Stanse version "1.1.2"
Copyright (c) 2008-2010 Masaryk University, Brno

STANSE_HOME not specified. Using the location of stanse.jar.
Checking for bugs:
<-> File: /home/konrad/work/linux/drivers/pci/xen-pcifront.c
<-> --------------------------------
Done.

And no warnings?
