The above link was mangled.
I guess you will have to re-submit to cope at least with Andrew's
feedback, but it think it's better to wait a little longer for the next

When you will re-submit you can retain the already collected ack.
Please include the target tree ('net-next') in the subj title and a
revision counter ('v3'). The whole subj should be:
[PATCH net-next v3 00/15] ethernet: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue
