If there are other changes to the relevant lines from the networking
tree, sure.  Otherwise, I was planning on taking them, since I've got
some other changes to drivers/char/random.c I was planning on sending
through the next merge window anyway.

I don't think there will be any merge difficulties, but it's simpler
if all of the changes to a particular file is going through one tree.
But if you really want to take it, I'm not going to object any more
than expressing a preference to do it the other way.
