Thanks. Do anyone here by any chance know why the PPSKit isn't
integrated into the kernel?  The patches seem to have been around for
many years, so it isn't the case that the patches are just too new.
Is there a code quality disagreement between Linus Torvalds and Ulrich
Windl?  As a newcommer to the linux world (from BSD) this is kind of
perplexing to me.
