Has anyone initiated or given consideration to the
creation of a git
quoted
repository (say, on kernel.org) for SR-IOV
development?

Why?  It's only a few patches, right?  Why would it
need a whole new git
tree?

So as to minimize the time and effort patching a kernel, especially if
the tree (and/or hash level) against which the patches were created
fails to be specified on a mailing-list.  Plus, there appears to be
questions raised on how, precisely, the implementation should
ultimately be modeled and especially given that, who knows at this
point what number of patches will ultimately be submitted?  I know
I've built the "7-patch" one (painfully, by the way), and I'm aware
there's another 15-patch set out there which I've not yet examined.
It's a mere 7 or 15 patches, you don't need a whole git tree for
something small like that.

Especially as there only seems to be one developer doing real work...

thanks,
