Hi, I am a little wary of pushing the Feral driver to mainstraim in it's current state (well at least the state it was in a few months ago when I last looked). It's register access macros suffers from being multi-OS wrappers and it got memory ordering and posted writes completely wrong. It's certainly fixable, but if we push it for mainline, I'd really like to see someone swing the club over it a bit and convince it to be a little more Linuxy. I understand the heritage of the Feral driver, so please don't take this as a rant, it's merely an issue of what the target for the driver is.
