Doesn't matter right now since the merge window is really close.
But looks like a mix of fixes and improvements. Having patches
that CC stable and basic code changes in one PR is a bit of 
a red flag. The fixes should should go to net, and the improvements
to net-next.

Right now probably best to respin for net-next, we don't want to
have to take the non-urgent stuff via net at this stag.e
