Then feel free to take these changes through your tree, I have no
objection to that.  I'll handle any merge issues on my side that might
happen, but given the size of these patches (i.e. almost trivial), I
doubt that would happen.

So feel free to add my:
	Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de>

to these patches and take them through the networking tree.
