Sure.
If we are going to push this last bit off until the 2.6.36 time frame Dave, Greg mind if I flip around who I send these patches to?
The big dependency is the sysfs-namespace patches which will be in 2.6.35, and if the patches get into net-next as well as linux-next there will be a larger number of potential testers.
