Do you know how many false-positives there currently are for hitting
driver_data?  It's insane...  I got 'make allmodconfig' working for
i386, x86-64, and s390, and I thought ps3 as well, sorry about that.

I thought I had.  This was my way of shaking out the residue as I don't
have a working ppc cross-compiler anymore :(

I'll add the above two patches (don't know if the second one needs it)
for tomorrow.

Roel, do you have any other patches doing this that I haven't picked up
yet?

thanks,
