Sorry.  I screwed up.

This was on top of a patch from M. Mohan Kumar <mohan@xxxxxxxxxx>
that hasn't hit net-2.6 yet.  Mohan wasn't included on the CC
list because get_maintainer.pl changed and I didn't notice and 
I wasn't careful.

Eric, could Mohan just fix his patch before it gets merged or is it
better to send these as two patches?

regards,
dan carpenter

Ps:  Mohon the patch is here:
