Pulled thanks!

In the future, please try to avoid merging in tags from Linus's tree
directly. You can send a PR to net-next and fast forward, that results
in a more straightforward shape of the history, and avoids getting 
the back-merging wrong (Linus said a couple of times that any cross-
-merge must have an explanation in the commit message, for example).

I agree merging upstream tags darkens the history. So IIUC, it's fine
to have an -rc tag higher than -rc1 as base, but you prefer to receive
one merge request per "base tag". Duly noted.

Thanks!
