Thanks Stefano! Also, as a bit of advertisement, linearization is
the goal of the "Koopmans' compliant" functionals we have recently
introduced, as a generalization of DFT+U. Even if not available yet in
QE, there are pedagogical descriptions in Dabo et al PRB 82, 115121 
(2010), PCCP 15, 685-95 (2013).
