Sounds like a reasonable approach to me (it has plenty of precedent).  But
I forget what all the other issues were, so ignore me.

There are no e1000 changes in -mm (from you), I don't believe.  git-e1000
has been in permadrop mode since 2.6.22-rc1-mm1 due to a huge number of git
rejects/conflicts.

Is git://lost.foo-projects.org/~ahkok/git/netdev-2.6#mm the correct URL?
