We've been merging these about one every other kernel release for a
while now.  Look at the drivers/misc/mic/ for one such example, there
are many others like this that are dealing with distributed systems and
having the kernel communicate between them through some custom userspace
api.  Usually ioctls :)

We merge a lot of stuff, and unfortunately it's hard to get a view of
everything that happens all the time.  I suggest reading at least the
shortlog summary of every commit if people are curious, I know I do.

thanks,
