I don't think the patch for converting the multicast lists will hit .31,
I take it?

I'd like to get this patch into the .32 tree once it opens
http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/patches/kernel/all/LATEST/NNN-net-core-mc-sync-list.patch

but I don't know how to handle that wrt. your patch, which will clearly
conflict with mein. Will you be sending that soon?

I guess we could stick this one into wireless-testing, and then take it
out again once your patch hits the tree and offers me similar API for
list_head based multicast lists?
