Fair enough.
I am trying to make a contribution to drivers/staging using sparse.
With that in mind, do you still fill I should keep clear of lustre?
I feel that actually doing the work properly could be a meaningful

I start to understand now, that what I was proposing before was
more of a hack than a solution and would have resulted in hiding
meaningful infos.
