In this particular case, David will know for sure since patch is very
recent, but I wanted to make a general advice.

Keep in mind David has to review dozens of patches _per_ day, so netdev
related patches need some extra cooperation from submitters to help the
maintainer.

This extra cooperation means to test the patch on either net-next-2.6 or
net-2.6 tree ;)
