Eh? This kind of code is about as uncontroversial as you can get!
Assuming you picked good places to hook into existing code, I'd figure
the KNF-ness is the only complaint you could possibly get.

As another IPX owner, let me add my vote for the new code... I distinctly
recall installing the fast eeprom code only to have my very next -current
build render it useless. With 1.4.2 builds and all, I've been getting the
nice eeprom code again, but it'll be time to do 1.5 soon enough.

Thanks but no thanks. I've had my fill of long-term local patches.
