If that is the precedent that then that makes sense.  You are good
at not rewinding net-next so I don't expect there will be a problem
there.

Do you know if there are any plans to support sendmmsg on parisc for
2.6.40?  That could get sticky as the parisc tree has a bunch of syscall
catchup support they are doing now.
