Hi Neil,

This branch seems to start from an arbitrary point and not an -rc. We want
branches only starting at -rc releases, please.

For a new platform like this, while patch volume is low, it might be easier to
just submit patches that we apply directly.

Some further questions: We usually try to add mach directories per vendor so we
don't get large number of them. Would it make sense to call it something else
than OxNAS here? I saw some patches posted referring to PLX instead of Oxford
Semi as well. What's up with that?

There's an overall lack of documentation of the platform in the initial patches
as well. An overview of it, maybe with links to product information, etc, is
useful.
