Perhaps Dave could summarize it in < 50 lines. That would
be a whole heap better than having to read the patch to try
to figure out what changed....

My summary was to him was much less than 50 lines.
In fact, here it is:

1) DecNET doc and code fixes from it's maintainer, Steven
Whitehouse.

2) You accidently reverted earlier socket.h LLC additions.
I assume it's because the networking patch I sent you
had it, yet it was already in your tree, and when Patch
complained you told it "treat as -R". :(

This should fix that.

3) VLAN fixes, in particular stop OOPS on module unload.
Also fix the build when VLAN is non-modular.

4) ip_fw_compat_redir can loose it's timer, fix from netfilter
maintainers.

5) ipt_unclean module handles ECN bits incorrectly.
Fix from netfilter maintainers.

6) Ipv4 TCP error handling looks up listening socket
children incorrectly. src/dest need to be reversed
in such cases.

IPv6 has the same bug, but Alexey needs some more time
to clean up that stuff.

7) SunRPC's csum_partial_copy_to_page_cache() does not handle
odd lengths correctly. Checksums needs to be combined
using csum_block_add() and friends in order to handle this
odd length case.
