First of all, I see you posted v2 within 4 hours of v1, without really
waiting for Michael to reply. So I guess that 15 patch rule is not the
only one you intend to break?

On v1 Michael asked you to not do the rename, and start with AF_XDP
support. Why don't you do that instead of asking me if you can break
more rules?
