ACKs, NACKs?  What is happening here?

I would like an Ack from Alan Cox who switched vhost-net
to a dynamic minor in the first place, in commit
79907d89c397b8bc2e05b347ec94e928ea919d33.

Sorry device@lanana.org isn't yet back from the kernel hack incident.

I don't read netdev so someone needs to summarise the issue and send me
a copy of the patch to look at.

Subject: vhost-net: add module alias (v2.1)

By adding some module aliases, programs (or users) won't have to explicitly
call modprobe. Vhost-net will always be available if built into the kernel.
It does require assigning a permanent minor number for depmod to work.

Also:
  - use C99 style initialization.
  - add missing entry in documentation for loop-control

I already applied your first patch, so you need to give me something
relative to apply on top of your original one.

And it also shows that you're really not generating these patches
against current 'net', otherwise you'd have noticed your other patch
already there.
