Apologies for not having enough time to suggest details, but let me
state this again - the patches which fix bugs need to go into net with
Fixes tags, the refactoring needs to go to net-next without Fixes tags.
If there are dependencies, patches go to net first, then within a week
or so the reset can be posted for net-next, after net -> net-next merge.
