That is fair. It is a big chunk:). I'll put the trivial patches together

Why? I do not think we should remove it because it is what the change to
neigh_vars_size is doing.

Thx for pointing this out. Was not aware of this quirk in net code. Will
include it for my next version.

That is a good question, but its something that needs to be address
outside this patchset. I'm just keeping current behaviour.
