So in other words, this code has not yet been used in practise, by real
MS interfacing with OsmoBTS and OsmoPCU.  I thik this is bad news, and
we will have to go for the 'temporary branch' solution that I proposed.

Patches that look fine in terms of coding style and that have been
reviewed positively could be pushed to something like a
'radisys/reviewed' branch.  They would remain there until they have been
tested in some way beyond the basic unit test.

I hope you can understand that we cannot merge patches where even the
original author / submitter has not tried to use them in a real setup.

I'm not talking about a comprehensive end-to-end regression test, but
just something very basic and simple, like a single type of MS
attaching, establishing a PDP context and doing a file transfer over
GPRS.

Feel free to share what kind of "integration test setup" you have in
mind for further testing of the code.
