Looks like you forgot to CC previous revierers.

It seems like you ignored the comments on the last version.

Get rid of the weird struct capilization.

Make these things functions instead of macros.

Fix your structure names.

> +	for (i = 0; i < (size >> PAGE_SHIFT); i++)

Remove pointless inner braces.

Hardcoding architecvtures is almost always a bug.  If you think it
isn't here it needs a big fat comment explaining that rationale.

Please use if/else for readability.

Please get rid of this whacky comment style.

An this one isn't proper kerneldoc either.

Please use timer_setup and from_timer instead of the data argument.
(this is new in -rc3).

Session_list isn't used anywhere.  And if it was it would probably
buggy due to the lack of reference counting.

Just return the session or an ERR_PTR.

struct pointer asts are a ba idea - this probably should use
container_of magic or a more generic strucure with unioned elements.

Please never put code in the same line as the switch statement.

Also in general code like this is better done by looping over a lookup
table.

Anyway, this was a super shallow review that everyone could do.

The actual ioctls and pv hardware interfaces look even worse, but
such a messy giant blob they aren't reviewable.  This patch needs
a major cleanup pass first, and then a split into reviewable chunks.
