Given that your patchset really isn't even in a reviewable format (you
just add one file per-patch) resending it doesn't bother anyone :)

Hint, you will have to work on a better way to submit this code in a
format that is mergable.  It's a non-trivial task, but going to be
required if you wish for this to ever be accepted.

Best of luck,
