Which one?  The user/kernel interface?

I haven't looked at the interface much yet, what is your issue with the
debug flag?

To make things easier, and allow you to be able to change the userspace
interface, I suggest moving the userspace code into the kernel tree, and
building it here.  That would allow you to move forward with changing
things easier, doing it all in one place allows you to keep stuff in
sync, and provides people an easier way to actually get the needed tools
to drive the code.

What do you think about doing that?

I've applied a number of these patches, care to respin the others and
resend them based on my latest tree?

thanks,

greg k-h
