Right, yes. To that end, would you recommend a specific mailing list
other than lkml to start on for just the x86 folks, or is lkml really the
best bet for that?

Let's take a crack at upstream being the thing we're sharing between our
two kernel forks. ;-)
Yeah, I'm all for that; I just think upstreaming this is going to take
longer than either of our next release cycles. :)
Nobody around here has touched this any more than absolutely
necessary in
years now. It's possible someone will be motivated, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Okay. I'll see what I can get done.
Thanks!
