I think you are _very_ wrong.

Koki, it would be good if you worked on net-next-2.6, so that my comment
applies.

Also, not sending this kind of patches on netdev is not going to help
very much.

Who is supposed to review them on lkml and Ack them ? 

Nobody.

Please build your future network related patches against net-next-2.6,
and send them to nedev and David Miller, the official network
maintainer, as stated in MAINTAINERS file.
