It took you 4 revisions to post a patch which builds cleanly and now
you want to hasten the review? My favorite kind of submission.

The mlxsw core + spectrum drivers are 65 times the size of psample 
on my system. Why is the dependency a problem?

What's going to make sure the module gets loaded when it's needed?
