Absolutely fantastic - however I think kernel.org would be happy to host
your git tree for you
as well as a few other places. Those are locations people would look for
public git trees.
I beleive you can still excecise some control. I beleive they are free -
though I suspect kernel.org would not
mind contributions from xilinx.

You might want to look at the Microbalze-uClinux mailing list as well as
petalogix.
They are not using git yet, but they are puching the microblaze towards
kernel org
inclusion.

For me the most significant issue is the bazillion layers of nested
macro's and includes.

The kernel style guides atleast to me are primarily about the
readability and understandability of the code.
not where the curly brackets are.
