BTW please move everything you're adding to libeth to libie instead. This PCI/VC/CP functionality is unlikely to be used by other vendors. Since libie_cp.ko or how you may want to call it won't link with base libie.ko, it won't have any pre-idpf HW-specific symbols, so that idpf could link with it. libeth stuff is purely vendor-agnostic and I'd really like to keep it so. Thanks, Olek
