Well, Linus has been taking my pull request from it since v3.12.  He did
call me out initially for requesting it initially, but was amenible
after I GPG signed all of my pull requests (and had a sufficient number
of people he "knew" in my ring).  But all of that has been sorted out
now.

The reason it is on Github is for the Wiki of NTB HW and it's usage
https://github.com/jonmason/ntb/wiki
It's gotten a bit stale, but was very useful back in the v3.12 days :)
(Also, I am using this as a call to update the Wiki!)

Thanks,
Jon
