Hi Carlos,

I have CCed the fbdev mailing list, since they seem like a much
better target audience for your patch.  Also, there is a much 
greater likelihood of your patch getting into Linus' tree if
it is sent to him by whoever is the current primary FBDev 
maintainer.

I apologize for attaching the file rather than including the
text.  I don't trust my current mail client to not mangle it.
