This applies to networking and not to staging.  For staging, always work
against linux-next or staging-next.

For networking patches sent to Dave Miller, then you have to figure out
if the patch applies to [PATCH net] or [PATCH net-next].  Just putting
[PATCH -next] because you happen to be working on linux-next is not
correct.  You have to investigate both networking trees to determine
where the patch should be applied.
