This is a bad description. It tells us what the patch is doing, (which we can see by reading the patch) but not _why_. Please include information on why the change is necessary - describe what you are trying to achieve. I generally don't accept patches what add new stuff to the kernel with no users of that new stuff - that's called experience, experience of people who submit stuff like that, and then vanish leaving their junk in the kernel without any users. Please ensure that this gets a user very quickly, or better still, submit this patch as part of a series which makes use of it. Also, copying soo many people is guaranteed to be silently dropped by mailing lists. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
