Hi Masami,

Is this a rewrite of Yoshihiro's work? I would like to keep the From:
from him if he did the initial work, and add both of your
signed-off-bys.

Note, I did pull in some of his patches to a temp branch and extended
on them. I'll look to see if I have to modify this code as well.

Thanks!
