Question about submitting a patch

Hi,

I've just created a patch for the latest Lucid kernel (Version
2.6.32-11.15). The patch adds Xv-overlay support for all Intel
8xx-chipsets when using KMS. It is a backport from kernel version
2.6.33. The patch itself was created using the source code from the
following git-repository :

http://gitorious.org/daniel-s-linux-stuff/linux-kernel/commits/intel-kms-overlay-for-2.6.32

I just updated the git-code to kernel version 2.6.32.6 and than "diffed"
it against a vanilla kernel. There was only one error, which could be
resolved be copy'n pasting the corresponding line into the original
file. The patch also cleanly applies to the latest Lucid kernel.

I just want to know where and how i can send this patch because it is
very big (57kb) and i don't have a git-repository running on my notebook
or elsewhere.

Greetings

Stefan
