here's a suggestion,

we could keep the net namespace unshare patch out of david's tree,
let andrew merge and release a new -mm and, then, send the net namespace 
unshare patch to andrew. that should keep nsproxy out of the andrew's 
merge challenge. But david's tree will miss the unshare part for a while.

As for the clone flags, the values *must not* conflict but the patches 
probably will.
