Heh.

Until about an hour ago I did not know that what is there is considered
'ugly' and you guys had thoughts of how to make it nicer. That is good.
And the driver isn't set in stone by only using those function - it can
change.

I am not sure if I have stated, but providing this driver in my mind
is an implicit contract that I, as the sub-maintainer, will keep it
in lock-step with mce.h cleanups. That is after all, the job of a
(sub)-maintainer.
