Hi, Masashige-san.  I have no problems including this into the tree,
as long as it isn't conflicting with Andreas' work, and it can be
packaged nicely together.  The conflict issue is just to make sure
multiple LKCD developers are working on the same page.  I'm all for
the right thing going into the code base regardless, I just don't
want to see conflicts in the way the work is completed.

The other thing I need to know is that you
are releasing this code under the GPL.  Your copyright is included,
which is fine, but I need to know that this code is GPL'd before
I can include it into the LKCD source tree.

Also, can I call this 'lkcd_ksyms'?  I'd like to use that name instead
of lcd_ksyms, for consistency with the package name.

Otherwise, I can include this into the tree tonight.

BTW, I'm almost done with the next revision of the patch (3.2), which
has the dump_silence_system()/dump_resume_system(), changes to include
gzip support, and a matching lkcdutils-3.2.  I'm going to bump up the
revision of lkcdutils to match that of the kernel patch.  That way we
have some more consistency with what is compatible with what.

There are some big changes going into LKCD 3.2 to change tunable names,
to allow for expandability for future enhancements.

Are people reviewing the source tree?  If so, I'll check my intermediate
changes in for now so people can review them.

Thanks!
