When you mix bug fixes and cleanups, I'm going to apply it all to
net-next-2.6 You didn't even specify an intended destination in your
subject lines, so you leave it entirely open for interpretation and
my choice.

So, if you want a bug fix added to net-2.6, tossing it into a series
which is not wholly appropriate for net-next-2.6 is not that way to
accomplish that.

The way to do it is:

1) Submit the bug fix, explicitly state "[PATCH net-2.6 xxx] "
   in your subject line.

2) Prepare your net-next-2.6 changes on top of that, and do one
   of two things:
   a) Explicitly state in your patch series in the "[PATCH net-next-2.6 0/xxx] "
      posting "this depends upon the bug fixes posted in the series
      XXX posted earlier.
   b) Wait for the bug fix to reach net-next-2.6 when I do a merge,
      then post your series.

Otherwise you make life way to miserable and complicated for me,
the one who has to review and integrate all of your work.

Thanks.
