Hi Jeremy,

As a bug fix, with a Fixes tag, I'm assuming that this targets 'net'.
As opposed to 'net-next'.

There is probably no need to repost for this, but in future please
bear in mind the practice of specifying the target tree in
the subject of Networking patches.

   Subject: [PATCH net] ...

Also, please include addresses indicated by the following in the CC list.

   get_maintainer.pl --min-percent 25 x.patch

The above notwithstanding, this looks good to me.
