Put a file in somewhere in your tree called ReleaseAnnouncement or something, and ask Linus to adjust his kernel release process to include the contents of `cat $( find . -name ReleaseAnnouncement )` in the release message he sends out. Clear out the file after the release. Include things such as "bcm43xx is scheduled for removal. build both b43 and b43legacy as a replacement. Be sure to download the latest firmware from $URL and follow the instructions there to extract the correct latest firmware necessary for your chip. There are known incompatibilities with old udev versions, please ensure blah blah blah."
