Nick, please repost the first patch only (to:dave, cc:netdev,...,
subject "[PATCH net resend] ...") and I'm pretty sure Dave will
re-consider it, it's a build fix after all. In any case reviewing 
a patch with a short explanation under the commit message on why it's
resend is easier [1] for a maintainer to process than digging through
conversations.
