I pulled down the net-next tree and the issue is with the first patch:
0001-Drivers-hv-vmbus-Export-the-vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuf.patch

The net-next tree is not current with Greg's tree and this patch is on code

that

is in Greg's tree. This patch merely exports an API that is already in Greg's

tree.

Greg wanted me to take this patch through your tree since the only user
of this functionality is the network driver. Any suggestions on how I should
proceed here.

The second patch:
0002-hyperv-Support-batched-notification.patch

applies cleanly to your tree.

Don't create cross-tree dependencies like this.

I'm not pulling in Greg's tree to get a dependency like this.

And if I don't, I can't apply patch #2 because it will fail to
build.

Ok; I will submit the first patch through Greg's tree.

Thanks,

K. Y
