OK. I am the maintainer of the code, and I will try to make sense out
of all the patches that got submitted while I was away on holiday...

BTW, I also am looking forward to 2.5 starting when we can get this
devfs stuff really working. I have a version of ide-floppy "working
with devfs" on my system but it still has too many funnies.

Watch this space.
