even though it's unrelated that this device isn't supported at all..

only the bridging code to userspace will join the linux kernel; The
Xceive driver itself runs as a userspace daemon and communicates
through a defined interface with the driver.
The Xceive userspace driver directly includes the firmwares (in any
case users either have to download a firmware because it won't get
shipped with the linux kernel or run that userspace daemon)

The userspace Xceive driver reuses code from Xceive which is as
complete as possible for several devices. Their template driver was
meant to work with more than 1 device it includes support and
different firmwares for several different devices. (eg. empia, dibcom,
etc.)

but he's right with that since that PCIe device isn't supported at all
at the moment.
