Backporting the HDA Jack sense patches to Precise

[David Henningsson]

A follow-up to the earlier thoughts about having the new jack detection 
interface in Precise. [1] Takashi has now merged the code into his main 
branch, which means it'll make it into 3.3. I think now would be a good 
time to start testing/backporting it into the Precise kernel.

Is there anything I need to know about how do we go about this? I was 
thinking to do this:

1) I'll export the relevant patches from Takashi's tree with git 
format-patch
2) I'll create a local branch of the Precise git tree and applying them 
one by one, backporting/changing as necessary
3) I'll build a test kernel
4) I'll test the new feature on at least two machines I have here and 
confirm that it works.
5) I'll push the branch for review/inclusion into a public tree at 
kernel.ubuntu.com.

Does this seem reasonable?
