1/3 ran into objections and, I think, Alan Cox is working on an
alternative for it. Would you mind resending 2/3 and 3/3 as a two
patches series? Feel free to add
    Acked-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl>

to both.

(The previous gigaset series, which you sent in July this year, was
picked up from netdev directly by David Miller. Unless people actually
prefer these patches to also be signed-off by me, I'm perfectly fine
with that.)

Thanks,


Paul Bolle
