	Lines like the two above usually go after
the '---' line. New features go first to the
{ipvs,nf,net}-next trees.

	What about changing 'Added' with 'Add', using
'ipvs: Add simple ...' in Subject line and reducing the
many spaces in above comments to one? The main thing,
there must be a Signed-off-by: line:

# scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict /tmp/fo.diff 
ERROR: Missing Signed-off-by: line(s)

total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 102 lines checked

/tmp/fo.diff has style problems, please review.

	' = NULL' after dest is not needed. Otherwise,
the module looks correctly implemented. You can post
PATCHv2 after making all needed changes.
