David Johnson would be the one to talk to about the status of the
linux-port branch if you think you'd like to look at that. I've CCed
him on this, but he's a bit busy with other tasks right now and it may
take some time for him to get back to you.
Just for fun, I checked out the linux-port branch and merged master
into it. There are 15-20 files with conflicts, but none look too
difficult to resolve.
