I see your point. There wouldn't be a name collision, so the change
isn't absolutely necessary - just a nice convention. So I could have
patched the "bug" in net, then done the rename in net-next. I hadn't
considered this.

It seems like this patch set is bound for net-next in some way, shape,
or form, so it might be a non-issue.

Thanks for the feedback!
