I have no problem adding this to linux-next (and noone has screamed aver
the past few days, so that is a good sign) except that the branch you
have submitted is actually based on linux-next itself.  You cannot base
anything on linux-next as it rebases every day.  You need to base your
tree in Linus' tree (or some other *stable* tree).
