I don't feel comfortable adding them to the 2.6.20 kernel at this late
period, for a variety of reasons. I really want them to be tested out
in the -mm tree and then in the full -rc series due to the fact that
they are non-trivial, and touch the driver core code that everyone uses,
not just that function.
Also, it's a new feature (reparent back to the original parent), not
necessarily a bugfix.
And yes, I realize that the functions don't work fully right now, but as
long as you don't want to re-parent the devices, they should work,
right?
thanks,
greg k-h
