Sure. That sounds a lot less ugly :)
I didn't quite get the interfaces, but with what you say above I think
I do. (And I think Drew suggested similarly.)

Will update and resend.

Mainly because 1.03 has been released, with no other modifications
than a license update (which has hopefully unblocked the inclusion of
DBG2/SPCR support in Linux kernel). Sorry, should have stated.
