Please check-in this write-up somewhere (Documentation/README.coccinelle
perhaps?) along with information about how to get the required tools.
(Are they pacakged in Debian and/or Fedora?  What versions are the
scripts tested against?)

Also I'd like to see a short example of how to use the framework.  I've
read Val's spatch article (http://lwn.net/Articles/315686/) and it's
still a bit of a black art to me.

Thanks for the work!
