Code wise, patch look good.

Just some commit style/meta comments:
 - I think that it would make more sense that these were two separate
 patches, but I haven't been following the fallout of the discussion
 above to know what other folks are doing;
 - Please use '[PATCH net-next]' in the subject prefix of your patch(es)
 when you next propose this (net-next is closed for new submissions for
 now, it should open again in a few days);
  

Cheers,
