I have not got it tested on AMD, IA64 and PPC. Probably they were
waiting for the core driver to settle down. I have only tested on
ARM{32,64} and x86. Heiko Carstens tested on s390 long back some
previous version.
If it fine with you, I would like to break the first 4 patches and
target it for v3.19, and take up the arch-specific patches (i.e.5-11)
after that, so that I can get them tested on all architectures.

Thanks, I will rebase on v3.18-rc4 and repost first 4 patches on Monday
which you can take it through your tree *iff you agree with me* on above
flow.
