I got the impression that Andrew is fine with that approach after my
explanation. I would need additional header files for all the
different swap macros/dma stuff, and that isn't nice either, isn't it ? 


Fair enough.



There are other drivers doing the same as I do, which didn't get any
objections. Is it me you have a prolem with ?


Put down the insanity and paranoia juice.  Slowly.

applied both patches.

Please provide an update that does at Andrew requested -- rather than 
#include'ing lib82596.c, you should update the Makefile for relevant 
drivers to look like


obj-$(CONFIG_FOO_BAR) += lib82596.o foo_bar_82596.o

and make sure it exports everything to make lib82596 a full fledged module.
