Why duplicate this in the email body? That forces me to edit the
patches and remove them, please use git send-email...

Why are you copying the files, and not just exporting the symbols you
need/want to use here? Are you going to be able to properly track
keeping this code in sync?
Same goes for your other patch in this series that copies code, why do
that? Are there goals to eventually not have duplicated code? If so,
what are they, and why not mention them?
