Hello, Miles,

I am posting my set as replies to this message.  There are a couple
of KVM fixes that are going up via Avi's tree, and a number of networking
fixes that are going up via Dave Miller's tree -- a number of these
are against quickly changing code, so it didn't make sense for me to
keep them separately.

I believe that the two splats below are addressed by this patch set
carried in the networking tree:

	https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/90754/

							Thanx, Paul
