This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: hv: Removed unneeded call to netif_stop_queue() in hv_netvsc
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also will be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: hv: Removed unneeded call to netif_stop_queue() in hv_netvsc
Removed the call to netif_stop_queue() in netvsc_probe() as
the queue is not initialized at that point and further call
to it after queue initialization is really not necessary.
This change was prompted after an upstream change went into
2.6.37 (netif_tx_stop_queue) that now checks if netif_stop_queue
is called before register with netdev is done.
This will eliminate the warning message to the log when hv_netvsc
driver starts up.
