This came up for me yesterday, too, with Dave's tso patches (which I'm testing right now, after getting past some hw issues). I was going to suggest a separate bk tree or something that would hold this stuff till it stabilized, before it needed to go into mainline. Having that picked up by mm would help us to increase coverage quite a bit. thanks, Nivedita
