Personally, I don't think we should be moving code into the trunk
until it is ready, and obviously this new SDP is not ready.

Anyone else have an opinion on how/when things get moved to the trunk ?
Shouldn't it be kept on a branch till it is ready ?

For example, this patch adds a function 
static inline void skb_header_release(struct sk_buff *skb)
that does not do anything yet. 

Maybe I better wait till you have this new
SDP completed before moving to it, until then I will use the older
SDP.
