These 10 patches look OK, but since the current kernel version is 
2.6.17-rc1, that means we are in "bug fix only" mode right now.

Should I (a) apply these all to netdev2-.6.git#upstream, queueing them 
for 2.6.18, or (b) let you split the submission into two parts, bug 
fixes only and everything else?
