I never said or indicated that my time is more valuable than yours. I
have a VM to run these things that some have spent countless hours to
develop with the right tools etc installed and set up. Fixing that
system will take quite many hours for me, so I am asking for some simple
assistance from someone who already has a system running supporting the
newest kernel.

Alternatively if there is an open sourced system available that would be
great.

As this patch-set is for the community and some companies that would
like to use it and not for myself, I am asking for some help from the
community with a task that when someone has the system in place should
not take more than 15-20 minutes, maybe even less.
