Hi

Sorry for the conflict. We misunderstood from our kernel-patch related
conversation that it is you are reluctant to accept that. So we
attempted to accomplish the same through app-side modification. Any
way, sorry again.

However, we are again concentrating on our kernel side modification,
and will update you soon.

Thanks,
Dibyajyoti
