Sorry, I already submitted the patch. I just listed everyone I could
find in the sources in From: ; that included san@...gle but not
Arve. I hope that's not too bad.

I am not opposed to having the code under mach-msm/ ... it would be
actually preffered. But it is quite a lot of code, and I guess it
makes sense to clean it up in staging/ then move it to the proper
place.

Alternatively if you can create nice git series for rmk/-next; that
would work, too. 

But I guess that staging/ stuff is quite easy to remove, and useful
for people that want to use the phones in the meantime :-).

Ack.
