um.
a) Why was this To:me and not To:davem? I'm trying to get rid of it ;)
b) The way you sent this email indicates that you wrote the patch.
To preserve correct attribution, please put a From: line right at the
top of the changelog.
c) For the record, here are the changes which you (I assume) made to
Simon's patch:
(br_netfilter_rtable_init() no longer initialises
fake_rtable.rt_flags. Deliberate?)
