Btw, Nitin, why are you targeting drivers/block and not
drivers/staging at this point? It seems obvious enough that there are
still some issues that need to be ironed out (like the CONFIG_ARM
thing) so submitting the driver for inclusion in drivers/staging and
fixing it up there incrementally would likely save you from a lot of
trouble. Greg, does ramzswap sound like something that you'd be
willing to take?

If it is self-contained, actually builds, and there is an active
developer who is working getting it merged into the main kernel tree,
then yes, I will be willing to take it into the drivers/staging/ tree.
Just send me the patches.


It is self contained (except for swap notify callback part). I will send
revised patches addressing some of coding issues raised in reviews and moving
everything over to drivers/staging.

Thanks,
Nitin
