Hi Dave and Jakub,

As Paul explained this is part one of two parts series,

Assuming the review will go with no issues i would like to suggest the
following acceptance options:

option 1) I can create a separate side branch for connection tracking
offload and once Paul submits the final patch of this feature and the
mailing list review is complete, i can send to you full pull request
with everything included .. 

option 2) you to apply directly to net-next both patchsets
individually. (the normal process)

Please let me know what works better for you.

Personally I prefer option 1) so we won't endup stuck with only one
half of the connection tracking series if the review of the 2nd part
doesn't go as planned.

Thanks,
Saeed
