> This series (against net-next) makes various improvements to ipconfig:
> 
>  - Patch #1 correctly documents the behaviour of parameter 4 in the
>    "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" command line parameter.
>  - Patch #2 tidies up the printk()s for reporting configured name
>    servers.
>  - Patch #3 fixes a bug in autoconfiguration via BOOTP whereby the IP
>    addresses of IEN-116 name servers are requested from the BOOTP
>    server, rather than those of DNS name servers.
>  - Patch #4 requests the number of DNS servers specified by
>    CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX when autoconfiguring via BOOTP, rather than
>    hardcoding it to 2.
>  - Patch #5 fully documents the contents and format of /proc/net/pnp in
>    Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
>  - Patch #6 fixes a bug whereby bogus information is written to
>    /proc/net/pnp when ipconfig is not used.
>  - Patch #7 creates a new procfs directory for ipconfig-related
>    configuration reports at /proc/net/ipconfig.
>  - Patch #8 allows for NTP servers to be configured (manually on the
>    kernel command line or automatically via DHCP), enabling systems with
>    an NFS root filesystem to synchronise their clock before mounting
>    their root filesystem. NTP server IP addresses are written to
>    /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers.
> 
> Changes from v1:
> 
>  - David requested that a new directory /proc/net/ipconfig be created to
>    contain ipconfig-related configuration reports, which is implemented
>    in the new patch #7. NTP server IPs are now written to this directory
>    instead of /proc/net/ntp in the new patch #8.
>  - Cong and David both requested that the modification to CREDITS be
>    dropped. This patch has been removed from the series.

Series applied, thank you.
