So get your vendor to integrate it.
You don't have a vendor, but roll your own kernels? Tough, so you're are a "vendor". Surprise, surprise.
Replace "vendor" with "people who roll up and distribute kernels". So one vendor (Linus) refuses to integrate LKCD. Tough. Use another one. Think USP here. Think diversity. Think competition. Maybe "that vendor" (Linus) will catch up one day. Maybe not. Maybe "competition" is not on his agenda. So what?
Get SuSE. They will integrate everything and their grand mother in their kernels.
Gee, most people seem to think that "vendor" means "big evil corporation in Redmont, WA".
