Correct, it is just a matter of a patch division granularity.  Alexey said
the patch should be divided into pid and net parts.  I divided it into
(pid + all mount opts parsing) and (actual hidenet usage).  As both pid
and net parts depend on options parsing, they are not fully independent,
and cannot be well splitted (or I just don't see how).
