It is only a specific variation of this device that needed this code so 
it is hacked in by conditionally including the header file below into a 
.c file.  Crufty code organization, but now you know.

This was made to work by having user level initialization scripts 
program the FPGA before loading the device driver.  The first thing that 
the device driver did in its init function was call the function below. 
  This is working code as it sits.  The things like 
"PCI_VENDOR_ID_IROBOT" are our own local hacks and defines.  Things like 
"list_for_each_safe() come from the kernel headers.  I think that 
<linux/pci.h> was all I needed for this part of the code but it might be 
dependent on others as well.

I'd be happy to attempt to answer specific questions, but I think 
everything needed is here.  I figured this out thought a lot of grepping 
and "use the source Luke!".

Cheers!
