I want to resen this.  My scripts should have put a net-next in the
subject and I think that changing:

-		return -ENOMEM;
+		return vectors;

actually does fall within the scope of the patch so I want to change
that as well.  There is no point in really breaking that into a separate
patch from a practical perspective.
