I would like to ask:
1) Is patch somewhere? [last time I checked, there was only whole
linux kernel]
2) What is license? [last time I checked, it was something *very*

PS: I would like to ask: What is the right way to ask this? I have
some 10-20 names in To: field, and that makes me feel a little bit
bad. Are that people subscribed on linux-kernel?

Hmm. I'll strip that list.
