Sounds like you would prefer v2 of this:

	https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?series=129768&state=*

While v2 didn't have a cover letter, it did write the upper 32 bits
conditionally.

Do you want to pick that up instead, or do you want me to send out a v4
with the cover letter from v3 and the patches from v2?
