This diffstat is not up to date, I think.

Greg, would you mind taking this driver into staging? There are some
issues that need to be ironed out for it to be merged to kernel proper
but I think it would benefit from being exposed to mainline.

Nitin, you probably should also submit a patch that adds a TODO file
similar to other staging drivers to remind us that swap notifiers and
the CONFIG_ARM thing need to be resolved.
