Erm, the GPL forbids linking propritary content with GPL. But this can be
defined in our interpretation in a way linux does.

I suggest, we define a strict interface to f-cpu, which are similiar with
a limes to our GPL-protected f-cpu-design. We should decide between
feature-enhancements inside of f-cpu and feature-enhancements outside. Out
side is a "zu weites Feld", but if we want include sources into the core,
it must be GPL-ized.
