11.2 since 11.1 is about to be released.

Context: the network device subsystem has been the "Odd Fixes" state for 
a decade (i.e., no one is paid to maintain it and don't have time to do 
much other than "throw the odd patch in"). Jason Wang used to make pull 
requests with network device patches (igb and others), but apparently he 
recently left Red Hat.
