This is definitely the wrong list, but we tend to be somewhat helpful ;) You should probably start by sending mail to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org mailing list and then adding the following people to the Cc: list: Ingo Molnar Andrew Morton Andi Kleen Eric Biederman Suresh Siddha Yinghai Lu I am sure I missed some, but that is a good place to start.
