OK, thank you two! Will remove the at91 patch from the current series. Block GPIO support for at91 can be added later.
I just noticed that the patch set needs another patch not yet in mainline, but in linux-next, linux-gpio and gpio/next.
I'm providing a branch to easily pull from for testing, building on v3.7:
git://git.antcom.de/linux-2.6.git blockgpio
Feedback welcome - thanks!
