I can help with the tidying; should just be a matter of running checkpatch.pl/Indent. I'll send you a patch personally if I get to it in the next couple days. As far as submitting it goes, I've been working with Anant at getting the Glendix stuff in. I also spurred the developer of the Plan 9 authentication device to get that code included. I've been working with Greg Kroah-Hartman for a while on the Staging tree, so I can get things fast-tracked into the kernel if that's wanted. Ashwin's Plan 9 capability device will be available in 2.6.29 when it comes out as an experimental option. If you want to post your code to LKML and see if someone picks it up, that's a good route, but if no one looks interested, just let me know and I can pretty much guarantee it will get in, possibly even for 2.6.29. > > -- Chris > >
