No, please put "staging" filesystems at drivers/staging/ where the other
filesystems that are in "staging" shape are.

This is due to some core changes needed to mark such modules as
"TAINT_CRAP", and to make it obvious who is to blame for such crap :)

Care to respin your patches to put the code in drivers/staging/ instead
please?
