Are any of these fixing functional bugs which users may encounter?

Looks like at least patches 1, 3, and 6 may be?

All the fixes for bugs should have Fixes tags and be posted against 
the netdev/net tree with [PATCH net] in the subject (meaning a separate
series). If there are dependencies between cleanups and fixes - you'll
need to defer the cleanups for a few days, until net is merged into
net-next. It usually happens every Thursday.
