* Thanks to Intel for providing kbuild test robot patches, bug fixes, and a very thorough build testing for the mdb v4.4 release.
* Thanks to Joe Perches for providing scripts and tools to start conversion of MDB to pass checkpatch.pl. Thanks Joe, instead of 6 months of work I only have about two months of work converting MDB to pass checkpatch.pl. checkpatch work is continuing. This is the only item left before I attempt to submit MDB as a patch series to Linux.
Jeff
