I am open to any suggestions you have on submitting these changes that has
the least amount of thrash for all the maintainers involved.

My concerns for submitting the network driver changes to the RDMA tree is
that it will cause David Miller a headache when taking additional LAN
driver changes that would be affected by the changes that were taken into
the RDMA tree.

We can hash this out later if need be, since it is clear there are changes
needed to the current series.
