Yes, there's been a lot of breakage in netdev land:

git-net-fix-macec.patch
git-net-sky2-fixups.patch
git-net-fix-wireless-kconfig.patch
git-net-fix-spidernet-build.patch
git-net-sctp-build-fix.patch
spider_net_ethtool-keep-up-with-recent-netdev-stats-changes.patch
pasemi_mac-build-fix-after-recent-netdev-stats.patch
git-net-fix-pasemi_mac.patch
make-mv643xx_ethc-build-again.patch

but we're getting there.  It looks like ibmn_newemac is more busted than
most...
