This patch series adds a centralized infrastructure and device support

390Mb/s).

Why are you adding new functions to the code before it is merged out of
staging?  Please don't do that, please get the code out of staging
first.

thanks,

Hi Greg,

Interrupt support was originally part of the driver set when we submitted it, but we removed it when we renamed the drivers and restructured the set. The work was listed in the TODO so I thought it would be okay to patch it in staging, but if we should wait until the drivers are out, then we will wait. :)

Do you think our drivers are clean enough to be moved out soon? None of the files generate checkpatch errors anymore (the one in visorhba_main was discussed before and decided to be okay). There are 7 files that generate warnings still, controlvmchannel.h being the biggest offender, with the rest all in single digits.

I'll get those warnings cleaned up - are there other things you'd like us to fix?
