Actually its quite an achievement to get banned from the list.

My advise : forget about the list for now. Go through all the advises
that you have got from every one regarding your patches. You might not
have seen the advises given to you . Then understand what you are
trying to do , understand why you are trying to do that , and then try
to think how you are going to do that. And after doing test it by
compiling the kernel and booting into the new kernel and verify that
your changes are working.
