If you post patches here, it may help you find like-minded people
who may want to join forces and help you complete the port, so by
all means.
If I pick up a partially completed series and carry it in my tree is
a separate matter. The patch has to be cleanly done (i.e. without
too many #ifdefs) for longer-term maintainability, and it has to be
clear that the changes do not affect other platforms negatively.
