Vivek, stop wasting people's time and just go study the paper.  Let's
*please* talk after that.  What do you expect him to do?  Copy & paste
the whole paper here and walk you through each step of it?  He
presented as much information as he could and then provided sufficient
summary in the head message and as comments in the implementation.
It's now *your* turn to study what has been presented.  Sure, if you
have further questions or think that the implementation and patches
need more documentation, that's completely fine but I find it
ridiculous that you're demanding to be spoon-fed information which is
readily available in an easily consumable form.  Seriously, this is
the best documentation we've had in this area *EVER*.
