I have a problem with that: you're adding interfaces to arch/x86/ and
its users go into staging. Why? Why not directly put the driver where
it belongs, clean it up properly and submit it like everything else is
submitted?

I don't want to have stuff in arch/x86/ which is used solely by code in
staging and the latter is lingering there indefinitely because no one is
cleaning it up...
