Second point is this series has not been copied to the ARM mailing
lists, so almost no one there has any clue that this is being proposed.
Please post it to the ARM kernel mailing list so that all interested
parties can review it, along with an explaination about why the existing
AMBA primecell support can't be augmented to provide whatever functionality
you require.
