	Perhaps you missed it, but I believe Dave's intent is for this to
only be a proof-of-concept idea at this time.  These changes are not=20
currently up for inclusion into the mainstream kernel.  I can not think
that Dave would ever just step around a maintainer and submit a patch to
Linus for large changes.

	If many people test these and things work out well for them=20
then I'm sure Dave will go back to the maintainers with the code and=20
the api and work with them to get it into the mainstream kernel. =20
Soliciting ideas and suggestions on how to improve the api and the code=20
paths in the drivers to handle this new method most effectively.
