Well at the moment we're in the "doesn't make anybody happy" state. The dom0 changes I have are, I'll admit, non-trivial. I don't think they're unreasonable or particularly intrusive, but they are large enough to be awkward to maintain out of tree. What I'm looking to achieve now is to get enough into the kernel so that the remaining patches are a "small unintrusive out-of-tree patch" (but ultimately I'd like to get everything in). But I think that's sort of beside the point. Its not like we're talking about something extremely obscure here; these changes do serve a large existing user-base. The (often repeated) kernel policy is "merge it". I'm happy to talk about the specifics of how all this stuff can be made to fit together - and whether the current approach is OK or if something else would be better, but ultimately I think this functionality does belong in mainline.
