I'd rather you implement the ring flush + workarounds before you set the pointer. If you want to keep the patches split out like this, just add a 5 patch to do the pointer change that's in the first patch. Or else collapse patch 1, 3, 4 into 1. I didn't really review anything yet though. -- Ben Widawsky, Intel Open Source Technology Center
