Applied, please don't add stable CC:'s to networking patches, instead
ask me to queue it up to my -stable todo pile instead.

I don't like it when patches instantly be submitted to -stable when
they hit Linus's tree, I'd rather it soak upstream for a week or two
instead.  That's why I do it this way.

Thanks.
