Right, I think clearest would be to add a new entry for this, and copy
the real metadata (Jens as the maintainer, his tree etc.). If we just
add the match to netdev it will look like the patches will flow via
net-next. No strong preference, tho. As long as get_maintainer suggests
CCing netdev I'll be happy.
