Thanks very much for keeping this going, Eric!  I'm going to keep
looking through the code some more, but so far I see no problems.

Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@...ibm.com>

to the full patchset.  I'm really hoping you'll also include the
patch to implement the netns support (i.e. basically commit
fdc0adeaa8bfab9a179e1eb349cab400ddb70403 that you sent inline this
morning to Tejun).

thanks,
