Has integration of this into the kernel sources been discussed anywhere
generally (like lkml)?  Has the work been done to integrate it into the
kernel build system (I am not sure what this involves for the tools
directory).  At a first glance, it doesn't need it own copy of the
COPYING file (for example).

I see that you asked Linus about this, but have receibed no reply (on
list).

Code being merged into linux-next should be basically ready for merging
into Linus' tree (apart from integration testing) and you need to be
pretty sure that it will be merged by Linus into the next release (i.e.
2.6.40).  In this case that is not such a big issue as the code is
(currently) all in a new directory, so will not interfere with other code.
