| the question i have is this: who is making the decisions about what
| goes into the kernel, modules-wise and built-in wise?

Largely me.  But the packaging action is done elsewhere.

| the reason i have this question is that i very badly want to add more
| gadget_* style drivers to the openmoko base, so that we can for
| example use it as a storage device, or ethernet, or audio/midi device,
| or heck .. even as a gadget HID device .. so how do we go about
| arranging things with the 'kernel guy' whoever that is, to allow this
| change?

I read about it, I am sympathetic to it, give me some time to clear some
other critical problems.

I did wonder if anyone is mounting NFS over it and that is why it is a
built-in.
