Great! FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I haven't seen any failures yet.

OK then how about the following (essentially documentation) patch?

The patch should address that problem by way of improving the libata driver API: * move ->host_stop() call after all ->port_stop() calls have occurred. * create default helper function ata_host_stop(), and move iounmap() call there. * add ->host_stop_prewalk() hook, use it in sata_qstor.c (hi Mark). sata_qstor appears to require the host-stop-before-port-stop ordering that existed prior to applying the attached patch.

This fixes the compilation of some OSS drivers with GAMEPORT=n without the need to #if inside every single driver. This patch also removes the non-working and now obsolete SOUND_GAMEPORT. This patch is also an alternative solution for ALSA drivers with similar problems (but #if's inside the drivers might have the advantage of saving some more bytes of gameport is not available). The only user-visible change is that for GAMEPORT=m the affected OSS drivers are now allowed to be built statically (but they won't have gameport support).

This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.
