Subject: RE: [patch net-next v2 0/9] introduce rocker switch driver with
 hardware accelerated datapath api

Perhaps you should be including the name of what you are switching
in the name of the API?

Is this for interfacing to ethernet switches, TDM switches or
mechanical ones?
It isn't really clear from any of these commit messages.
