David,

I see that all 4 patches are marked as rfc, whereas I tagged
only 3 and 4 as 'rfc' and mentioned in cover letter that they
will be coming for real in stage III. Here they support patch 2
and show the future changes to bpf.h file.
Patches 1 and 2 are good to go.
Note that they're on top of Hannes's patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/385266/
Do you want me to resubmit just first two?

Thanks
