I applied it as it is but could I ask you to follow up on the following
(rather minor) issues:

- According to observations from your testing and comments from Sergei/Alan
  it really seems that prefetch bit has reversed meaning so the driver should
  be updated to reflect it.

- Could the old changelog be removed while we are at it?  The detailed
  changelog is kept in the kernel git tree nowadays.

Thanks,
