The changes are "semi-trivial", and hope that a new kernel hacker can
take a crack at it. Part of my comment however true, was meant as a
tease to get more kernel people involved (helping the cause.) Anything
that any of us does can be done by others, and fostering a talent search
is a good thing (IMO.)
I am willing to provide the info, but hope that a naiscent kernel hacker
comes forward...
