Hi Thinh Tran,

I'd suggest that the best way to move this forwards would
be to rebase the remaining patches on net-next and posting them as a v7.
It would be useful to include the information above in the cover letter.
And to annotate that they are targeting net-next in the subject of
each patch and the cover letter.
