Augh, another round on the patches I'm stalled waiting for. It's a fair
critique though.

Do you care if drivers still work in between the two patches? I'm not
keen on adding two separate #defines when the changes are conceptually
paired like this, but the second patch is only clearly correct after the
first is in place, so I hate to squash them. At least they should both
trigger compile-time errors in any code that isn't updated, making the
cause of a bisect failure somewhat obvious.

Could you at least merge the stupid trivial gitignore fix so I can get
something out of my tree?
