Ok, I'll ignore the patches from Manu for now, but please, do not create
a git tree, just send me what you have right now, as obviously some
people find it useful.  Then, everyone can work on it together in the
main kernel.org tree, like the rest of kernel development is done.

If you have any questions about how to do this, please let me know.
