Re: [PATCH net-next 0/2] fixes for ipsec selftests

A couple of bad behaviors in the ipsec selftest were pointed out
by Anders Roxell [off-list ref] and are addressed here.

Shannon Nelson (2):
  selftests: rtnetlink: hide complaint from terminated monitor
  selftests: rtnetlink: use a local IP address for IPsec tests

Series applied, but I wonder about patch #2.

The idea is that we don't make modifications to the actual system
networking configuration and therefore make changes that can't
possibly disrupt connectivity for the system under test.

Using a configured local IP address seems to subvert that.
