Arnd,

There are repeated complaints from the kernel build bot about this, and
it would be good to get it solved. Could we have an updated patch
submitted to netdev please? This is in net-next only at the moment,
so I think that means it needs to be submitted with:

	[PATCH net-next ...]

and please make it clear that it is a fix for code only in net-next.
(However, netdev folk may request it to be referred until net-next is
merged and then against the net tree...)

Thanks.
