I hope David Hendricks will submit one patch for each hardware driver, and then we can review each of them to get them into a semi-mergeable shape and continue from there. Compilation will be disabled by default (full drivers with makefile hacks, hooks in other files with # ifdef) until the code is ready for prime time.
