If you want to patch the kernel, the best way to describe what you want to
do is to ... send a patch.

Before you do so, though:

- Please read the available documentation, including SubmittingPatches and
  development-process/*

- Prepare a proper changelog saying *why* you want to make this change.
  You are trying to change the ISDN subsystem, which is pretty static
  these days; what current problem are you running into that makes you
  think this change needs to be applied to the kernel?

Thanks,
