Comment 9 for bug 1508706

Yes, I submitted v2 version of the patch yesterday. The two versions are functionally equivalent and obviously I would prefer you pick up the second version. However if the kernel is built and ready to go, I would go with the first version. Andy is right in that there will be one more patch that will use the functionality exposed here but that will be in netvsc code and that is not a correctness issue. I want this patch to be applied to stable and the patch could not be more than 100 lines. Once Greg commits this patch, I will be submitting the follow on patch in netvsc.
