I used:

+static inline bool is_ip4_loopback(__be32 addr)

and converted the current uses in net of macros
to use those functions directly.  I'd prefer to drop
the macros entirely, but there are uses in
drivers/infiniband and drivers/parisc to convert too.

Is the use of "is_ip4_<level>" not "ipv4_is_<level>"
your reason to drop the patches?
