Thanks, I assume that this was formally enough and you are taking the patches.
So, for future reference:
Stable patches for the networking tree, I should: 1) check http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=* to see if my patch is already on your stable queue 2) if not, ask you and cc netdev@vger.kernel.org 3) you will handle the interaction with Greg and stable@vger.kernel.org
Correct?

I'll remember that. I was just following Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt, I guess I should have known better as all my previous stable patches have automagically been picked up and processed by you :-)
