I agree, which is why I included patch 5.  I've rebased my Linux
dreamplug patches against v3.0 and am doing some testing, Hopefully I
can push those out this weekend.  I'll add you folks to the CC when I do
that.

Do you think Linus, GregKH and others would flip if I suggested
arch/arm/staging/* ? ;-)

thx,

Jason.
