You have to believe me when I say that I'm very sorry to hear that.
We've both invested a lot of time on these patches, it's a shame to
give up when we're so close to a solution. There was one part that
I wasn't aware of until you mentioned it, which is the fact that the
interrupt sequence varies from kernel to kernel. We can discuss a
solution to that issue if you tell us what the possible variations are.
Please let us also know if you'd prefer someone else to review your
patches.
