Ugh, this is going to conflict with our series too :(  (and I CCed you
on ours)

Would it be OK for you to hold off until Jiri's code gets merged and
ours comes down via bpf-next?  That shouldn't take long at all.  The
conflicts between bpf/bpf-next/net-next are really taking their toll 
on us this release cycles, I would really appreciate if we could make
some progress on this relatively simple series at least...
