So you're ACK'ing a patch that makes changes to files that don't even
exist in the repository?

Andrey, post a clean patch against 'net' that fixes these constants
for existing code, don't just assume that your original patch set is
applied and post changes relative to that.  That's not how we work.

After the bug fix for the existing cases goes in, you have to repost
your original patch set on top of that.
