I think this should just be

if (sleepable)
    might_sleep();


?

It all seems OK, any chance the AH bit can be split to its own patch or is it all interconnected? It would be easier for rc this way.

I can't not do anything about AH because it throws kernel splats. I'd rather not break the driver
even for one patch. If one says this won't work unless you apply all of them you may as well just have
one patch.
