Provide _real_ forward progress on the code. Google has not contributed
anything, and neither has anyone else, becides various tiny fixups, like
the low-memory one that you just did.

That is up to the developers of the code. I would hope that it would,
but it needs a _lot_ of work to get there.

So for now, unless you are willing to maintain this code and work to get
it merged into the main kernel tree (which will require changes to the
kernel/userspace apis in a number of places, which will require buy-in
by the owners of that userspace code), I'm going to have to drop the
code.

sorry,
