Ummmm... must you repeatedly post almost identical patches to the list?
10+k all the time? Fun as /proc/animal may be, with the current
anti-bloat wars raging over this channel, I doubt its inclusion into the
offical kernel. Perhaps a better option would be to keep your patch
maintained on an ftp site, so that when you need to fix it and release
1.0x for the n'th time, you can merely cite a reference.

Incidentally, I'm collecting patches that haven't made it into 1.3.x, so
that they may be looked over en mass when 2.1.x comes along. Upload to
ftp://ftp.lmh.ox.ac.uk/incoming if you want. The (rather small)
collection so far is in ftp://ftp.lmh.ox.ac.uk/pub/linux/kernel/patch. I
want a nice large collection :)
