I've just fixed the inlint thing since it was pretty trivial, I didn't bother commenting on it since I figured it would turn into
an actual patch from someone who could test it on actual hardware first.

Note that I've tested it on a KVM guest, and not on real hardware - so I'm not sure how much of a test that is.
