Then I will split it in:
1. Separate preparatory patches and small patch-sets that apply
     to the forward-fastpath already.
2. One patch-set that brings the bridge-fastpath with datapath tests.

Ok, but my main question then is which tree should I work in, and
therefore which tag should I give my patches, [nf] or [net-next].
I think it will get more complicated if I split my patch-set and half of
the patches go to [nf] and another half to [net-next].

What do you suggest?
