This is not the correct way to format a comment in the kernel networking
code, the proper way is:

	/* Like
	 * this.
	 */

Also, you need to provide a cover posting for a patch series explaining
at a high level what this patch series is accomplishing.  Also you need
to explicitly indicate what tree this set of changes is targetting.

Given the amount of changes you've contributed in the past, I am at a
loss as to why I have to explain all of this to someone with your level
of experience.
