I'm mutating the subject thread, and cc'ing the public mailing list into 
this conversion. Now is the time to announce the intension to merge 
multi-frontend patches, and show that we have tested and are satisfied 
with it's reliability across many trees.

(For those of you not familiar with the patch set, it adds 
'multiple-frontends to a single transport bus' support for the HVR3000 
and HVR4000, and potentially another 7134 based design (the 6 way medion 
board?).

For my part, I was asked to test the cx23885 changes and I responded to 
that with a series of patches to fix some OOPS initialisation errors. 
The MFE patches work correctly with the cx23885 tree now.

Over time I've heard constant suggestions that the patches are ready for 
merge, the cx88 and saa7134 trees are working correctly. Now is the time 
that I need you all to announce this. I need you each in turn to 
describe you testing, and state whether you think the patches are ready 
for merge.

If you're not normally members of this list then please say so, I'll 
ensure your response is cc'd back to the list.

Thanks,
