This is not unexpected entirely, only unexpected in that the PCI tree
hasn't been merged yet ;-).  The first commit was part of a series that
was mainly a PCI series that just touched hfi1, so it's entirely
understandable that it went through the PCI tree and something in my
tree might happen, as it were, to touch the same area.  Your fix was
fine and I'm sure Linus can sort the same thing out.  Thanks ;-)
