Subject: [PATCH v2 net 0/6] mvneta fixes for SMP

Hi,

Following this bug report:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/468173 and the
suggestions from Russell King, I reviewed all the code involving
multi-CPU. It ended with this series of patches which should improve
the stability of the driver.

The first patch fix a real bug, the other fix potential issues in the
driver.

Thanks,

Gregory
