Jiri, I know there is your patch set there, but I think you and Changli
still need to go back and forth one more time wrt. orig_dev semantics.
Since you have been posting this patch set for some time I'm still
willing to apply it for this merge window, but please make haste and
work out the remaining discussion.  Thank you.

Dave, you can apply the rest of the series and leave only the first
patch (af_packet) out. There's no dependency. We will figure out things
around origdev later.

I was about to do that but I've found other problems.

You cannot make the modifications you make to linux/if.h, those
interface flags are visible to userspace.

What do you suggest? To remove unused flags and leave gaps there or to
not to remove the flags at all?

You can't remove them, otherwise if it happened to be reference in the
sources to some app out there, it will start to fail to compile.

This is pretty obvious stuff, I hope :-)
