I was waiting for an ack on this patch,
and realized that there was one already on v1.
When sending v2, you should have reported the Ack.
And to ease review between versions, please keep all the versions
in the same thread with --in-reply-to.
Would be nice if old contributors from Marvell would guide you.
Thanks

I would vote for not backporting this new API.
Any other opinion?
