Without a real, in-tree user, I can not accept this code. We don't add "frameworks" for non-existant things, otherwise it will be instantly ripped out the next kernel release. Please come up with at least 2 users, ideally 3, otherwise there's no real way to know if the framework is sufficient. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
