Ok, let me rewrite it:

I have merged it into maint (not in trunk) but somebody has to think about a
way to get it working on olders kernel _when he wants to enable it the
future_. This patch has to made on top of that patch to get it integrated in
_one of the next kernel merge windows_.

Better? :P


Personally I would do it with something like that:
