Besides the ongoing(?) discussion about the exposed kernel addresses in procfs
- what are your plans about this patch that already moves the kernel addresses
to inode numbers?

Is it something for net-2.6 / net-next-2.6 / stable ?

Especially in this case we do not see any problems with userspace tools that
could break as it would be for some other /proc/net entries.

Once this patch is applied (and the procfs layout is changed anyway), i'd also
like to send a patch from my backlog that would extend the procfs output for
can-bcm with an additional drop counter.

Best regards,
Oliver
