I can rebase and resubmit my patch, it's pretty straightforward.
The problem was the lack of user in the kernel. And by user I mean
a driver using these functions. Usually a new function enter in the
kernel only if there are users for it inside the kernel so if you plan
to submit a driver using this piece of code, then I see no reason
to not get it.
