Hi Peter,

I wasn't sure which kernel maintainer to send this patch series to.

Andrew, I think that the include/linux/unaligned/generic.h header file
went upstream through your tree in 2008. Can you perhaps recommend me to
which kernel maintainer I should send this patch series? An archived
version of this patch series is available at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191028200700.213753-1-bvanassche@acm.org/T/#t.

Thanks,

Bart.
