Ok.
Just out of interest, are you actually the only taking care of such patches ?

This might be true.
That's why I'd like to proceed with smaller steps, this is less work and time for me. Keeping the patches always current against current cvs is quite some work.
I'd suggest the following three steps:
1) redboot
2) VV interface + low level API
3) RO filesystem implementation
While it would be nice to have all three items in as soon as possible, having the redboot part in is by far the most important part for us. Items 2 and 3 can as long as we haven't reached consensus yet also do done in our application.
