Right. If it were not for net (vs net-next), I would have split the
patches a bit differently to make things easier to review. But those
patches are fixes and can be backported to older kernel versions.
They're fixing 2 commits that were introduced in different versions, so
this patch has to be made before the next one, as it is fixing older
kernels.

(I also did not give an hint in the commit message to what is done in
patch 3 for the same reason. But I agree that's arguable.)

Thanks,
Antoine
