So I'm ok with the approach now and I might even put the powerpc patch
in for 3.10 since arguably we are fixing a nasty bug (uninitialized
max_bus_speed).

David, what's your feeling about the radeon change ? It would be nice if
that could go in soon for various distro targets :-) On the other hand
I'm not going to be pushy if you are not comfortable with it.
