Sorry for not devoting enough time to this, but something always seems
to come up, and I really want to be able to focus a concentrated chunk
of time on this, and I never seem to be able to.  Anyway, I would
prefer to find a solution that everyone can agree on, without me
having to rule by decree.

I think updating the patch is a good idea.  Although I didn't get a
chance to review it carefully there were a number of obvious messy
parts that should be cleaned up.

I am beginning to think that your basic approach is probably right,
but I also still think it should be possible to handle both SRQ and
non-SRQ without any overhead on the fast path.  I don't understand the
"maintainability" argument against doing this.  Can you expand on your
position a little?

Thanks,
  Roland
