It is appropriate for kernel versions including e1d44477 (net: convert 
multiple drivers to use netdev_for_each_mc_addr). The patch was generated from 
a net-next-2.6 tree, thus the mention in the subject, which was certainly 
misleading, sorry about that.

There is no disconnect between those two things, what tree a patch
applies cleanly against and what tree it is meant to be applied to.

They are always equal.

There is therefore no confusion, and it was not misleading.
