WRT to merging RDS into the kernel - our current plans are to wait to see RDS adopted by more than Oracle - before approaching the kernel community about inclusion of RDS.

Stuff doesn't get merged into the kernel on its own. If you want RDS
upstream then the first step is to post patches in a form suitable for
reviewing. Then respond to the review comments.

The files Documentation/SubmittingPatches and to some extent
Documentation/SubmittingDrivers in the kernel source have more info.
