Greg, thanks for doing this. It'll be a good excuse to try bitkeeper.
Please don't rush it into Linus' tree, I'll need a small incentive ... :)

It won't. But if you want to experiment with such stuff (someone
should at some point :) I know these other issues will crop up
(and maybe more):
- <linux/usb.h> updates
- <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> updates
- usbcore uses the new "driver fs"
And various non-USB subsystems triggered changes too:
- I think usb-storage got some changes (BIO work)
- the video drivers _should_ have api updates ... :)
A backpatch could probably stub out the devicefs stuff, but I'd
not be sure about the best way to handle the rest. I suspect
that some drivers would backport easily (network?) but others
might just want to catch up to the api changes (mem_flags in
various places, etc).
