OK, thanks, I'll redo.

But I hope you will agree with overloading of FETCH_MTD_reg, I do not
want to add yet another method.



In fact I thought about $current too, and I agree it looks better. But
this conflicts with other changes I had in mind. I was going to add the
support for @symbol+%reg and +%reg(...), then add the %%percpu_shift
pseudo reg. But on a second thought this doesn't look very nice, so
lets use $name.

Oleg.
