[Nouveau] questions about the changes in development model
Now that we are in staging and patches are expected to be pulled into that tree (instead of one big "nouveau" commit) it seems obvious that commits should try to follow the kernel rules. Some are more obvious than others, i for one just remembered that patches should be run through checkpatch. My main question is, who is primarily responsible for getting stuff upstream? Also, what level of support do we give to the code that is not up-to-date in comparison to nouveau/linux-2.6, this becomes especially important for released kernels, which could be up to 2-3 months behind what we have at that point. Maarten.
