Hi Jakub,

Thank you for applying this patch so promptly. However, I would like to 
ask that this patch be withdrawn.

1. It needs more time in testing.
2. There are a number of bug fix patches being tested. This patch would 
require rework of those patches.
3. As the lead maintainer for ibmvnic, I failed to communicate this to 
Lijun. I will do better going forward.

Please revert this commit. We will resubmit this patch later.

I sincerely apologize for any trouble this may have caused.

Regards,
Dany
