Did you > just fix the "inlint" thing, or was there something else entirely? 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.
