sorry - the net: cam from looking at the output of 
hofrat@debian:~/git/linux-next$ git log --oneline net/irda/timer.c
d82603c treewide: Replace incomming with incoming in all comments and strings
9ffc93f Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h
25985ed Fix common misspellings
5eaa65b net: Make static
db955170 more UTF-8 conversions
6819bc2 [NET] IRDA: Fix whitespace errors.
6ab3d56 Remove obsolete #include <linux/config.h>

where it was not really clear what prefix to use - and net: seemed the most
