    I'm ready to queue this now. Certainly any remaining snags can be
    fixed in-tree.

    It kind of keeps in tradition with proper software projects "plan to
    throw one away" which is what we have traditionally done several
    times: the first Bluetooh framework was tossed, JFFS was tossed
    for JFFS2, Video4Linux was tossed for V4L2. So let's do this.

    Anyone against? I will put it on an immutable branch and then merge
    that in for devel.

    Yours,
    Linus Walleij
