There are two "initial patch", I wonder which one you mean.
There's his really first patch, which remoevs the lines in IP_GRE which change dev->needed_headroom. I was under the impression we were against doing that.
The other patch he posted duplicates the device attribute variable caching in two functions.
My patch is just a tweak so that we only do this sequence in one place, the new sock_alloc_send_skb_reserve() helper, instead of in both the ipv4 and ipv6 RAW code.
So I'm a little confused what your suggestion for rc10 really is :-)
