Guys, we're trying to do things the standard Linux way. Please break
your giant patch in to logical readable patches and start submitting
them few patches at a time. Nobody's going to read this giant single
patch.

In addition, read the following:

Documentation/CodingStyle
Documentation/SubmittingDrivers
Documentation/SubmittingPatches
Documentation/SubmitChecklist

And then make sure scripts/checkpatch.pl will not produce errors or
obvious warnings. Otherwise this code will just get ignored by people
who should review the patches.

Regards,

Tony
