We still need at least one person interested in this patch who rebases the
patch and resubmit its with a convincing commit message.

It would also be interesting if it should be a simple flag or some if
exporting the num_bcasts via $something would be sufficient. Or if the
num_bcasts should be split into num_bcasts_otherif and
num_bcasts_sameif and then exported.

Just keep in mind that this "flag" may has to be kept there until the end
of time. So if there is a need for a new setting then it should at least
be discussed if this is done right and not that someone else needs to add
additional things shortly after it reached the Linux kernel.

Kind regards,
	Sven
