  Great!

  Can you update the specification as well?

  BTW, did you copy the code from Linux? If yes, you need to include
the copyright notice as well as the code. Another thing of which you
should be careful is how to write ChangeLog. Because I have elaborated
on this several times in this list, please take a look at the archive
of this list.
