Thanks John,

Actually, I was after 3.8; but I understand in my situation it may be
not feasible.

Positive side is till 3.9 I can integrate more features;
negative one is... the same - since I will end up with one bulky patch.

I'd actually prefer to have baseline merged, and then submit 'feature'
patches - it will be easier to review.

By the way - what is better, hold new features till initial driver merged,
or keep integrating more and more stuff?

Thanks, Vladimir
