Hi Roland,

No, you've not missed anything!

I've got an updated version of the patch with some enhancements Heinz
(lvmguy) has been working on to improve the driver's lookup performance.
This is still being worked on at the moment.

This patch is a little out of date now - I'll get a later version
(bugfixes mainly - the new lookup code is still being tested) made
available here.

Thanks,

Bryn.
