Right, I have this on my TODO, but I did not manage to find time for this
the past few weeks. I expect to have time for this in a couple of weeks
from now, which means the move will miss the 5.1 merge window.

Note you (Sam) are certainly welcome to submit a patch doing the move
yourself, I can certainly use some help with maintaining vboxvideo.

Note I will be available to help answer questions resulting from a
review for moving the driver out of staging. And more in general, if you
want to do this I will try to help where I can.

Regards,

Hans
