+17: All new kernel boot parameters are documented in
+ Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
+
+18: All new module parameters are documented with MODULE_PARM_DESC()
+
+19: All new userspace interfaces are documented in Documentation/ABI/.
+ See Documentation/ABI/README for more information.
+ Patches that change userspace interfaces should be CCed to
+ linux-api@vger.kernel.org.
+
+20: Check that it all passes `make headers_check'.
+
+21: Has been checked with injection of at least slab and page-allocation
+ failures. See Documentation/fault-injection/.
+
+ If the new code is substantial, addition of subsystem-specific fault
+ injection might be appropriate.
+
+22: Newly-added code has been compiled with `gcc -W' (use "make
+ EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W"). This will generate lots of noise, but is good for
+ finding bugs like "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned".
+
+23: Tested after it has been merged into the -mm patchset to make sure
+ that it still works with all of the other queued patches and various
+ changes in the VM, VFS, and other subsystems.
+
+24: All memory barriers {e.g., barrier(), rmb(), wmb()} need a comment in the
+ source code that explains the logic of what they are doing and why.
