My experience with FreeBSD is one of rock-solid performance. I would hate to upset that impression for somebody else with this particular chunk of code. I wrote this driver to the best of my abilities, and I think it is good, but I don't spend every weekend with the FreeBSD source code like some of you guys do. I can say with 100% certainty that my driver works much faster, more reliably, and with more features than the current gp driver distributed with FreeBSD for _me_. This will probably be true for most other people as well. However, that doesn't mean that this code is the end all and shouldn't be committed without being checked over by one of you FreeBSD-god types. Maybe this is just my own anxiety over my FreeBSD-contributer virgin status, but it seems wise. Should I send it in with this "send-pr" command myself, or should I let one of you guys do it?
