Absolutely! It is still on my to-do list, but unfortunately, I got busy 
with a couple other things.

With regard to the last patch set I submitted for this, Thomas had an 
issue with one of the patches. I understand the concern, but I am not 
sure  which would be the preferred way to handle this. See the below thread:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125062817124381&w=2

If you or Thomas have any feedback on this, I could re-work the patch 
against the latest kernel tree.

Cheers
Jon
