Applied and queued up for -stable.
Next time, please:
1) Provide an introductory posting ala "[PATCH net 0/N] ..." describing
what the patch series does on a high level, how it is doing it, and
why it is doing it that way.
This allows people to understand what they are about to read, and it
gives me a single mail to respon to when I apply your entire series.
2) Always clearly indicate the target GIT tree in your Subject line,
in these cases it should have been "[PATCH net N/M]"
Thank you.
