I learn from some kernel developers that they said only useful patches will be
accepted by community and applied on next kernel mainstream version.
So, I don't know whether or not my patch can be seen as "useful" by
most of users while it is developed under my project requirements.

mmh...  SubmittingPatches said patches should be sent to
linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org if there is not "MAINTAINERS file",
after fixed into standard style.  what are different with that
you have said? The " lkml@ prefixed " seems not be mentioned
in SubmittingPatches, what should I do?

Thank you very much,
