Whiteboard
[asac, 16 Aug, 2011]: this blueprint lacks detail on where to consume the output and how to build it and at best how to verify that what was built is really in there. I would suggest to drop comments like this one in the whiteboard keeping the reader updated on URLs where the patches are reviewed etc.
[sumits, 26 Aug, 2011]: RFC and related discussion on http://
Build instructions: enable CONFIG_
Headline: Buffer sharing object framework RFC posted.
