The patch is not yet ready to be merged. At the very least, I need to
include an update to explanation.txt along with it. When it is all
ready, I will rebase it on Paul's repository and post it.

Which reminds me: Now that the material has been accepted into the
kernel, do we need to keep the github repository? It has the
linux-kernel-hardware.cat file, but otherwise it seems to be redundant.
