Yeah, there are a number of problems with this Feature request.

1) No discussion at all with the kernel maintainers
2) Testing and development entirely done against F16, not F17
3) kmod
4) out-of-tree kmod
5) No links to upstream patch submissions

Fortunately, I don't think this is even needed anymore.
