This is not very likely to float unless you can argue convincingly
that it will have a sufficiently large user base to not simply rot in
the tree. Honestly, I think you'd have a very hard time of it; you'd
be better off turning your code into a port. Take a look at the
audio/aureal-kmod port for an example of a port that installs a
loadable module.
Also,
- Andrew Tanenbaum spells his name "Tanenbaum", not "Tannenbaum", no
matter how dearly you might like to see him dressed up as a
Christmas tree;
- next time, you may want to post the patch on the web and just
provide a URL in the PR rather than the entire patch. 30,000-line
PRs aren't much fun.
