Reading the change-log below, I noted that pretty much nothing in it explains what is the role of this port mapper, with that presentation you sent not being part of the upstream kernel, I think you need to add some documentation. Care to resend this patch with modified change-log so Roland can rebase his for-next branch or just send what you want to add and Roland can re-word this commit.
