Subject: [PATCH 0/2] 3.1-git ipoib: fix NULL pointer dereference

The following series  
- fixes a NULL pointer dereferences in ipoib_start_xmit()
- renames variable 'n' to 'dst_neigh' to make the code better readable

Question: I am unsure about the usage of likely() here, as I run into the else branch,
maybe it is not that unlikely and likely() should be removed?

Bernd Schubert (2):
      Fix possible Null pointer dereference in ipoib_start_xmit()
      Rename 'n' into a longer variable name.
