Hello David, sorry for this being discussed in a different thread,
so here you have a few pointers to why is this needed:

Or, for example, get rid of the callback and add an API:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg323517.html

Then you get the patch that avoids all this call-back singing and dancing:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg323518.html

In any case, I posted 3 different implementations and hope
people will choose the best one (any choice is fine with me).
