No, sorry, I'm not going to take this.

The TODO file is for what needs to be done to the code in order to get
it _out_ of the staging tree.  Not new features.  This should be a list
of things that people can help you out with, which none of these are,
given the lack of documentation on how adding this to the code is able
to be done.

So please, work on removing the items on the TODO list, that way the
code can then be merged into the main portion of the kernel tree.  Then
you can go and add new features.  There's lots that still needs to be
done with this code before you can think about adding anything new.

thanks,
