I'm not spending the time :)

But no, there isn't a way to really show that that I know of, and it's
fine, we end up getting a number of "cleanup" patches for a kernel
release or two before the drivers get deleted.  It gets people involved
in kernel development which is the key thing here, it's not like they
are actually using these drivers...

So it's fine, I take the patches, the people writing the patches are
happy, and the code gets a bit nicer and feels better about itself
before we kick it out the door.

thanks,
