need an education here.  created a patchset for this problem and i'm
about to test that against 4.2 GENERIC and have a couple of questions

        1.      are the results generally intersting? should i post
        them somewhere (assuming tests go right)

assuming above is yes

        2.      had to manually add the line from r1.94 to 'mbuf.h' to skip the
        other changes in r1.93.  is there a "cvs" way to do that or
        should it be manual and i assume there's nothing for me relevant to
        branching etc as that is only relevant to the repository/commiter,
        right?

        3.      m_gethdr duplicates the new m_inithdr code which seems
        ... not great ... would it be better to (a) call the m_inithdr
        function from m_gethdr (b) change it to a macro (c) change
        the m_inithdr to inline and call it from m_gethdr (no idea
        whether the function would get inlined anyway).

and finally, how do i create a patchset?  is it simply a concat of
the individual file patches?
