Thanks for doing this and this series!

Wasn't it Greg who had suggested this? Maybe add Suggested-by with him
on it.

Also, your cover letter and first few patches are not CC'd to the netdev
list or others. What you want to do is collect all the email addresses
for this small patch series and add them to who you email for your
entire series, otherwise at times they won't be able to properly review
or understand the exact context of the changes. You want folks to do less
work to review, not more.

So please resend and add others to the other patches.
