So, can that be done in the staging tree as it is, or does Greg need to
merge (part of) the net-next tree? Or will someone just supply me with
a reasonable merge resolution patch? Or does Greg reset the staging
tree to 5c872e1d2595 and try again next time? Or similar for Dave
(revert Arnd's work)?
Currently it is a mess in linux-next and probably will not work even
though it does build.
