Next patch will require struct talitos_edesc to be defined
earlier in talitos.c

This patch moves it into talitos.h so that it can be used
from any place in talitos.c

Again, this patch does not qualify as a fix.


But as I said, the following one is a fix and require that one, you told
me to add stable in Cc: to make it explicit it was to go into stable.
Yes, but you should remove the Fixes tag.
And probably replace "Next patch" with the commit headline.

If someone tries to merge following one into stable with taking that one
first, build will fail.
This shouldn't happen, order from main tree should be preserved.


When they pick up fixes, AFAIK they don't take all the preceeding commits.

This is not about Fixes tag, but Cc tag:

Ah, ok. So I need to keep the Cc tag. I misunderstood sorry.
