Er, that sentence was incomplete. Continuing...
Thus it would result in a patch that adds a new file
drivers/scsi/mvsas.c to the 2.6.24-rc7 kernel, and modifies
drivers/scsi/Makefile and drivers/scsi/Kconfig to enable this new driver.
That is the format that developers and users are most familiar with,
when reviewing (and testing) a new driver.
But of course this is a draft, so these guidelines are certainly loose...
