Nathan,

The "robust port that Google has" was done by me, so we can always use that
:-P The newest features that i back-ported from the upstream kernel were
for a separate feature need that came about when I was at Samsung, which
was the need to send the kernel messages to both kmsg and a userspace
auditd. Eric created a patch for a more generic feature setting
and retrieval implementation on the kernel side, that I rebased my kernel
patch for the "always send to kmsg feature" onto. They were tested on the
desktop, seemed to be fine. I just haven't had the time to get back to the
Android port to test it; likely it will be fine. I just wanted to keep
Eric/community abreast of my porting activity.

FYI I saw your port early on, the reason I wrote one from scratch was due
to the license issues.

Bill
