Well, I consider the memac stuff to be well tested, but I don't
have 10gec/dtsec hardware. I was hoping that someone with the hardware
might look at this series if I stuck RFT in the subject. I suspect
there are still some bugs in those drivers.

Well, I have gotten reviews for the device tree stuff, but the core
changes (what I consider to be the actual content of the series) is
missing Reviewed-bys. I don't anticipate making any major changes to
the series unless I get some feedback one way or another. If having
RFT in the subject is preventing that review, I will remove it.
