A little btw. question: I know you are busy now with more serious
problems and it's not for now, but: after the last net-next-2.6 git
policy change most of the time neither net-2.6 nor net-next-2.6
could be treated as current net state. I tried to stick to net-next,
but it was idle most of the time.

Isn't it possible to create the third git tree maintained the old
net-next way i.e. net-next-2.6 with immediate bug fixes from net-2.6
(and of course rebased from time to time)? I guess you could be doing
something like this privately, so it's not necessarily a lot of
additional hassle?

Thanks,
Jarek P.
