Here's the link to the list of patches so far. I should hopefully
complete the rest in about
a week.

https://github.com/allenpais/tasklets/commits/ref_tasklets

What I have done so far is to keep patches close to the original
series, but with changes
from the feedback received to those patches.

Patches 1-10 have been retained as is, except for DECLARE_TASKLET which has been
moved to patch 1 from patch 12 in the series.

Patch 11 is broken down to sub-systems(as it was done for Timer
changes in the past).
Sub-systems:
arch/*
drivers/atm/*
drivers/block/*
drivers/char/ipmi/*
drivers/crypto/*
drivers/dma/*
drivers/firewire/*
drivers/gpu/drm/*
drivers/hsi/*
drivers/hv/*
drivers/infiniband/*
drivers/input/*
drivers/mailbox/*
drivers/media/*
drivers/memstick/*
drivers/misc/*
drivers/mmc/*
drivers/net/*
drivers/net/ethernet/*
drivers/net/ppp/*
drivers/net/usb/*
drivers/net/wireless/*
drivers/ntb/*
drivers/platform/*
drivers/rapidio/*
drivers/s390/*
drivers/scsi/*
drivers/spi/*
drivers/tty/*
drivers/usb/*
drivers/vme/*
net/dccp/*
net/ipv4/*
net/mac80211/*
net/mac802154/*
net/rds/*
net/sched/*
net/smc/*
net/xfrm/*
sound/core/*
sound/*
and ofcourse staging/*

Patches 12, 13 comments will be addressed and broken down.
Patches 14, 15 will remain as is.
Patch 16 will have it's comments addressed.

With this approach, I think it will be a little easier to get the
patches into the kernel and also will be easier for maintainers to have
them reviewed.

Thanks,
