This series still needs fixes, and the net-next tree has closed meanwhile.

And to be honest, handling this series has been very painful for me so far.
The patches either didn't apply or didn't even compile.

Please do not resubmit this until the merge window is over and the net-next
tree opens up again.

Thank you.
