Again, you are going to _have_ to build up a series of patches, each only doing one thing, in order to try to get these changes into the kernel. The fact that you are going to be changing an existing api, and breaking working drivers, in a stable kernel series so late in the development process, is going to be a big problem in getting your patches accepted. You better do them in the least obtrusive manner possible. Good luck, greg k-h
