Hi Bemovar,

These patches don't apply to linux-kselftest next and I can't apply
them now. Looks like there are new tests that came through a netdev
tree already in linux-next. It does happen when a new feature goes
into a tree with the test.

So for now we will have to wait on these and when 4.10-rc1 comes out,
please rebase it on linux-kselftest latest. I will try to get these
into 4.10-rc1 fixes

thanks,
