Sorry for the confusion
There was some stale state stored in Git that affected the subject and patch
numbering
that I only noticed after git send-email; I later cleaned this state and are
more vigilant
regarding Git merges :-)
There are 8 patches in the L2 Gateway series and 6 patches in the
Logical-Physical separation
for a total of 14. The numbering of 7 to 14 is the 8 patches in the L2 gateway
series that are skewed
By 6 from the first series.
I have since sent out a single patch combining Physical-Logical separation that
I’ll split into 2 patches
soon based on subsequent feedback
