Hi Saeed,

linux-next contains all the material that maintainers are queuing up
for the next merge window, during the -rc cycles of the previous
release, including the net-next branch.

In general, the guideline is to make sure that most patches are in
-next around -rc6/rc7 timeframe, to give them some time for test
before merge window opens.

So the fact that this hasn't been picked up and showed up there yet,
seems concerning -- but I don't know when Dave closes net for new
material like what you're staging.
