Hi Keith,

Thanks for clarifying the situation. 

If suppose the bio-based driver version is pushed out to a public repo, will
it be made  just a source repo or 
will it be actively maintained where new patches are acceptable and can be
merged into the repo ?

Thanks and regards,
Sunad

Hi Sunad,

The mainline going forward with kernel 3.19 will be blk-mq, and the
linux-nvme tree will be there as well on the next upstream merge.

I have my own repo for maintaining the bio-based version since a lot of OS
vendors are using older kernels in their minor release cycles. I can push
this out to a public repo on git.infradead.org if there's interest.

Thanks,
Keith
