OK, so one obvious problem is that the tree you want merged has a
single patch in it and the diffstat looks like this:

Having it in that form makes it pretty hard for anyone to review ...

If you have a set if incremental patches, maybe you should post those
instead.

I am afraid that if the maintainers affected by this code will not
merge it, I cannot justify putting it in linux-next myself.
