I've applied this except:

1) the IRDA stuff, it's staging and needs to go via Greg KH

2) the MPC ATM didn't apply at all to net-next

Such a huge patch series like this is a huge burdon upon
a subsystem maintainer.

Split this kind of stuff up into manageable chunks next time,
maybe a dozen patches at a time.  Do not submit multiple
series at once to get around this size limit.  Submit one
at a time, wait for it to get applied, and then after that
you can submit the next one.

Thanks.
