So kernel/bpf/ patches are usually going via netdev tree as main development
happens there and to avoid cross tree conflicts, etc. Thus, please Cc also
netdev in the next iterations.

Maybe when these patches are in a perfect shape at some point, perf folks
provide their Acked-by(s) to the series to give their consent, and then this
should go via net-next? Or will this be organized differently?
