Yes, but Joe's was there first, based on the original driver, that's why
I accepted his patch.  We all end up reworking "already working" code in
order to get it accepted.  This is just another form of that.

Could you point out the problems in the existing driver?  It sounds like
some things would be easy to fix, such as control message allocation for
an example.
