Kernel doc can't link to defines, right? So what does it matter?
This example is also a reason why I think the kernel doc included is too
verbose to hand generate. Either we auto-gen this or just don't include
it.

This is backwards. The minimum length of a message is the header length.

This is existing code that deleted 2 patches from now. I don't think we
need to rework it to just delete it.

Correct but existing code, right? We should've fixed this with the CTB
interface change boondoggle. I suppose I'll fix this if I respin.

This was called ctb_has_room in the prior to this rev. You literally
suggested this change in previous revs comments. A follow up patch
basically does what you suggest below once we start checking the g2h
credits too.

Don't agree. I prefer h2g / g2h here. Send and recv and both relative to
the observer while h2g / g2h are not.

If we introduce a function that can cause a problem for another function
we likely should make both work in a single patch.

This patch is quite simple and all the changes follow together. For
example if you did a 'git blame' on the above lines and the changes were
only by themselves it wouldn't make any sense at all. With the patch as
is it makes sense.

I guess, but does it really matter? I could see it either way.
