Don't do this as your first patch, make it your last one.  Otherwise the
build will break when you apply this one to the tree.

Remember, we need to be able to have a correct build at every patch in
the whole development series, otherwise tools like 'git bisect' will not
work properly.

Also, is your goal to get this cleaned up good enough to get it into .38
in the "real" place in the kernel, or do you want to see it go through
staging and take a bit longer to get everything cleaned up properly
before moving to the "real" location?

Either is fine with me, just curious.

thanks,
