I think that I do have the time for it. Thanks for the offer! Jason Cooper was also volunteering to help out with this, and even we can't convince Krzysztof to continue doing it, there is also Imre who is officially listed as maintainer for IXP4xx and who has not commented on this. As Krzysztof mentions, he probably doesn't have much time for it, but I'd like to give him the chance to comment as well. I'm sure we can find some solution between the four of you. Right now, I think we should focus on getting the bug fixes from Krzysztof's tree into mainline and the stable kernels where applicable, and then establish a better working mode for the future kernels.
