OK, but fyi, there's a possible issue with !CONFIG_DEBUG
builds because these patches converted some uses of
	if (net_ratelimit())
		printk(KERN_DEBUG ...
to
	net_dbg_ratelimited()

These messages are no longer emitted when DEBUG isn't defined
and not using dynamic_debug.  I'm not sure that's a real
problem, but it's a difference.

I could produce a net_printk_ratelimited that would keep
the original behavior if necessary.

	net_printk_ratelimited(KERN_DEBUG etc...)

cheers, Joe
