Hi David,

Thanks for getting this together.

I have one comment.  You say you maintain this for the latest stable 
release, but if there's strong demand for something else, it will be 
considered.  I propose that this should also be maintained for whatever 
kernel or kernels we are shipping on the mainstream platforms.  For 
example, we are currently shipping the -23 Maverick kernel on 
Somerville, so I think it would make sense to maintain the HDA modules 
for this kernel.

Regards,
Chris
