Quite well. But next time you might want to CC: me as I almost missed
this message.

It's getting there. If you look in -mm there are a lot of subsystems
already converted over, along with a lot of patches from andrew that
revert these changes due to udev issues.

I'm working on fixing up the udev issues so that the kernel work is not
held up. That's a bit slower going as it requires me to install a lot
of different distros...

thanks,
