    (netfilter: netns nat: per-netns NAT table) renamed the

It's more than a "cleanup"?

At present any lockdep messages relating to this lock will print the
wrong name.  So it's a nanobug, I think?

Well, I'm now working on the RT git tree, and it has a much stronger 
requirement on __RW_LOCK_UNLOCK. It actually uses the variable inside.

For mainline, it is a nanobug, but for -rt it is a compiler error. Since 
it is still a clean up, it would be nice to have it in mainline ;-)

Applied to net-2.6, thanks Steven.

As Andrew mentioned this is a bug (albeit a "nano-bug" as you
called it :-) so I removed the Impact line in the commit
message when applying this.

Thanks!
