I'm against this getting merged w/o addressing some of the long  
standing comments I've made:

http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-May/036224.html
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-September/042632.html
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-September/042633.html

Additionally I think ALL new "libraries" like this should come with  
kerneldoc.
