Subject: Re: [PATCH][IPSEC][4/6] changing "ipip tunnel" and xfrm4_tunnel to
 the API change

Thank you Patrick for your review.
I'll fix and send again.

BTW, I'm going to use separete xfrm_tunnel_handler to solve
the issue which you pointed at the moment. But why does
"register twice" corrupt the list even if I use separate lists
for the address family.

Thank you,
