The format of these patches does not allow for simple application to
the iproute tree. Patches should be on the same file. All your patches
have .new which won't work.

The simplest way to handle this would be:
 - take a git branch on your local repo
 - do the work there and commit each change
 - when ready to:
     $ git send-email --subject-prefix 'PATCH v2 iproute' --cover-letter main



A normal patch looks like this one.
