If I'm understanding correctly, this makes sense.  My concern with the v2 patch 
dealt with the inconsistency of how ib_get_rmpp_data_offset() was being used by 
usermad.c.  The two solutions that I saw to fix this was either changing 
ib_get_rmpp_data_offset() to make it more generic, or changing usermad.c to call 
it appropriately.  I don't have a strong preference on which approach is taken.
