sure, no rush -- i just wanted to have it out for review as it has been
ready for a few weeks now.

Regarding lem vs em i actually wonder if it wouldn't be better to
consolidate the two drivers given the amount of common code.
While i understand the desire for stability, i actually wonder if there
is much if any leftover hw which uses 'lem' ... outside virtualization!
