What's the thinking on merging? 8 and 9 will get reposted separately 
for net-next once the discussions are over?  

It depends on 2/9. So either it gets routed via -tip with your blessing
or a feature branch containing 2/9 on top of -rc1 so you can pull that
change and apply 8+9.
Just say what works best for you and I let tglx know ;)

Heh, I saw a message from Greg politely and informatively explaining 
to someone how they have to structure their refactoring to avoid
conflicts in linux-next. I should have saved it cause my oratorical
skills are weak.

No ack, I'd much rather you waited for after the next merge window 
and queued this refactoring to net-next. Patch 9 is changing 70
files in networking. Unless I'm missing something and this is time
sensitive.
