But this is a new feature, and a new command, so I don't quite

Oh wait, I guess you're right, or this should just be part of patch 1
instead so we never have the feature without the requirement to have the
interval given.

Yeah, I could squish this with the previous patch (1/3), but I just
reckoned that patch was getting too big, so I decided to make a separate
one.

If this whole patch series is taken at the same time, I guess there
won't be backwards compatibility problems (except for bisecting,
maybe?).

Anyways, I'll leave it as your choice.  Squishing the patch is easy
enough. ;)

Ah, and one more thought... There's no driver implementing this at this
point, so is there anything to really worry about?

Yeah, good point, no big deal. We can keep it -- I just didn't even
understand why Ben thought it would not be compatible but it makes sense
if you just look at the patch by itself.

I was a bit confused..didn't realize it was a new command that had just
been added.  I thought someone was adding a required member to the existing
scan logic.

So, I have no complaints.

Thanks,
Ben
