No, sorry. This is not how this is done.

1) Patches are normally submitted through the BTS. Discussion/questions 
and maybe review of rough, proposed patches beforehand is done on the 
mailing list.
2) We don't just add module udebs without also seeing something of the
code that will use it (or at the very least a discussion of that code).
3) Module udebs are normally defined in kernel-wedge and then used in 
packages for specific architectures.
4) Normally at least some effort is made to see if a change is also usable 
for other architectures (and if not, some explanation is given).

What you are doing here is essentially dumping a seemingly "complete" 
patch on the mailing list without any context at all.

Cheers,
FJP
