Applied and queued up for -stable.

Next time, please:

1) Provide an introductory posting ala "[PATCH net 0/N] ..." describing
   what the patch series does on a high level, how it is doing it, and
   why it is doing it that way.

   This allows people to understand what they are about to read, and it
   gives me a single mail to respon to when I apply your entire series.

2) Always clearly indicate the target GIT tree in your Subject line,
   in these cases it should have been "[PATCH net N/M]"

Thank you.
