I thought I asked about this in the previous thread, but I probably
wasn't clear with my question.

Let me try again:

Patch 1 will apply to net and is a fixes and CC's stable, and fixes
a similar issue to the one Paolo reported, not the exact same path,
though.

Patch 2 will not apply to net, because the code it fixes is not in
net yet. This fixes the splat Paolo reported.

So... back to the question in the cover letter from the RFC :) I
suppose the right thing to do is split the series:

- Rebase patch 1 on net (it applies as is) and send it on its own
- Send patch 2 on its own against net-next

Or... something else ?
