We are interested in experimenting with this, but the patch seems to
have formatting issues, probably due to the email client corrupting
formatting.

Assuming you have this in the form of a git commit, can you please try
something like:

rm 0001-*.patch
git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH RFC' HEAD~1
./scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-*.patch
git send-email --to 'David Miller <davem@...emloft.net>' --cc
'netdev@...r.kernel.org'  0001-*.patch

Thanks!
