Sure.  Let me write it like:

patch 1: fix first caller
patch 2: fix second caller
patch 3: re-write both callers to cleaner API

And we can push everything to net because it's nice to have one version
of the API instead of a version for net and a different version in
net-next.  Or we could apply patch 3 to only net-next.
