Hi Bruno

In netdev, it is normal to include a [patch 0/2] for a patchset which
explains the big picture. Also, please use [patch net-next ..] to
indicate this is for the net-next tree. If you think these are fixes
for stable, please base them on net, and use [patch net ..], and
include Fixes: tags.
