Heh, I saw a message from Greg politely and informatively explaining 
to someone how they have to structure their refactoring to avoid
conflicts in linux-next. I should have saved it cause my oratorical
skills are weak.

No ack, I'd much rather you waited for after the next merge window 
and queued this refactoring to net-next. Patch 9 is changing 70
files in networking. Unless I'm missing something and this is time
sensitive.
