Linux kernel doesn't do namespaces in the code, so every new driver needs
to worry about global symbols clashing
This driver is called mana, yet the code uses ana. It would be good to
resolve this inconsistency as well. Ideally, you want to prefix
everything with ana_ or mana_, depending on what you choose, so we
have a clean namespace.
