Hi Wolfram,

an initial comment is, and I know this is a bit of a pain,
that 'net' and 'net-next' patches need to be split into separate serries.

And if there are dependencies, the 'net' series should go first, and then
the 'net-next' series should go out once the 'net' patches have been
accepted and 'net' has been merged into 'net-next', which I believe occurs
after Linus has pulled the weekly 'net' pull request, which typically
occurs on Thursdays.
