This all came about because Tim asked to merge this to the main tree
as-is, and so, people rightfully pointed out different options that
might be considered if it were to be merged that way.

I have no problem leaving the logger driver in staging, but it seems
that Tim is taking on the task to do the harder thing here, which
probably would entail work on both sides, which as a openhandset
alliance company member, he might have a change that someone like me
might not :)

Tim, it's now in your court it seems, have a great holiday,
