The patch is not yet ready to be merged.  At the very least, I need to
include an update to explanation.txt along with it.  When it is all 
ready, I will rebase it on Paul's repository and post it.

Which reminds me: Now that the material has been accepted into the 
kernel, do we need to keep the github repository?  It has the 
linux-kernel-hardware.cat file, but otherwise it seems to be redundant.
