Andy,
This patch was applied to David Miller's net tree only yesterday. Patches from net tree are typically pushed to Linus tree once a week.

Thanks,
Sarvesh

Is this going to be in mainline soon? I do not see it in Linus' tree as yet, which is presumably why it is not in stable as yet.

The description in the bug is rather better at explaining why we need this.

The patch looks ok overall, I am mildy worried about when it is going to hit mainline. But it also sounds pretty important for bridged scenarios which would include virtual setups. So overall probabally:
