Ok, thanks.

So it is somehow a fork.  Are there plans to merge the upstream
changes in through a git tree or something?  There are various fixes
being brought from the kernel, it'd be a shame if we were having two
completely diverging trees...  And at some point, of course, David's
work need to be merged into the main kernel through proper patches so
it can benefit everybody without having to compile their own kernel.  I
know it'll very probably look very tedious, but that's how things have
work in any kind of software project, to provide proper quality.

Samuel
