Traveling this week, so responses a bit delayed.

Yes, I screwed up the posting. I had some outstanding code in my
local tree to make it compile, but I failed to refresh my patch series
with this outstanding code before mailing it out. So what I tested/built
was not quite what I mailed out.

As soon as I noticed this issue in patch 3/3 I re-posted it here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=144440355808472&w=2

in an attempt to avoid this confusion. I'm happy to re-post the series
or whatever makes things easiest for you.
