Oups I just see the corresponding part in submittingpatches.txt

As I already said I think the driver will never be used with multiple instance.
But since many people want this pointer dead, I will work on it.

Ok, but with which version of sparse do you have such a warning. I use the 0.5.0 version and I got no warning at all.

Great, the code is much cleaner with it. (with up to 10% speed gain)
