this year?
New drivers/filesystems should get treatment such as:
1. build cleanly, no compile/link warnings
2. check with sparse, eliminate its warnings
3. use 'make checkstack buildcheck namespacecheck'
and fix their problems
similar to what I recently did on the Areca/arcmsr driver
and on libata-acpi additions.
