Dear Benjamin,

Since you are working on Device drivers, do you want to see whether your
Device drivers testcases can fit in here in LTP:
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/kernel/device-drivers/,

I am eager to know whether we can work together to get these device
drivers testcases inside LTP.
