I'm not sure what you mean by parachuted in. The patches for both the kernel and mesa were send out to their respective review mediums a number of times and there were actually a number of revisions as we worked through issues that came up. We were certainly not trying to "sneak" this in. I didn't realize anyone was actually seriously working on this at the moment either until you brought it up. What is the current status? Does anyone else have anything similar in progress?
