Yes, I have. I sincerely hope that patch was posted for review;
certainly it _should_ have been. If not, I apologise. It's in
linux-next.

But as I said, I've stopped working on drivers/net/ for now; we're
concentrating on the rest of the kernel where the maintainers are
_happy_ to be brought up to date.

The intention was always that this set of patches should be obviously
correct and uncontentious, without inflaming the religious nutters on
_either_ side of the debate. The fact that there that the most vocal of
the fanatics on _both_ sides are flaming about the sensible middle
ground, where I'm just consolidating what has been common practice for
ages _anyway_, is rather bemusing to me...
