In general, in all FOSS projects I have worked (and particularly the
Linux kernel), it is a strict rule that any given patch adresses only
one logical change.  So if your change is for flow-based "OVS" support
in the GTP code, and the "gtp->net = src_net" is a generic change (and
not something specifically required by flow/OVS) then it should be a
separate patch.  Similarly to the cosmetic changes which should be a
separate patch.
