Subject: Re: [PATCH] [NETNS] Remove unused member (dst_net) of dst_ops.

This has been added by the Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@...ibm.com> in the
commit d4fa26ff44e31c2636a985e3092e2cd55d8045de. It looks to me a
preparatory staff for IPv6 namespacing.

I think this is not needed in 2.6.25  but will be required in 2.6.26
very soon.

Regards,
	Den
