Subject: net-next-2.6 [PATCH 0/4] dccp: CCID packet dequeueing interface

Dave,

can you please consider the following set of 4, which solves several problems
of the CCID packet-dequeueing interface. This set has been tested for about
3 years.

 Patch #1: sets up a return code convention to handle both rate-based and
           window-based congestion-control IDs (CCIDs) with one function.
 Patch #2: generalizes the xmit interface: rate-based CCIDs continue to use 
           timers, whereas window-based ones use a tasklet.
 Patch #3: fixes issues in cleaning up CCID state when closing a connection,
           like patch #2 this also divides into rate-based/window-based.
 Patch #4: using the previous patches, takes CCID-2 out of its polling mode
           (that was the problem of the xmit interface - CCID-2 kept on 
	    abusing it by faking a small timeout, constantly polling until
	    its internal congestion state allowed it to send again).

The set has also been placed into a fresh (today's) copy of net-next-2.6, on

    git://eden-feed.erg.abdn.ac.uk/net-next-2.6        [subtree 'dccp']

The set is fully bisectable.
