Sorry, I just reused my old subject pattern without reflecting it.
These 4 patches are new features for SMC, and thus the title
should have been "net/smc: features 2018/04/30".

I am going to send v2 with such a title.

Currently we just have one patch queue for upstream posting and
do not separate smc bug fixes from smc features. It is easier to
keep this patch queue and send them for net-next. Thus in the past
I have submitted bug fixes regarded as minor for net-next as well.
But in future I will send pure bug fixes always for net.
