Vectoring on Lantiq VRX200 / VR9 - missing callback for sending error samples

+1!

This master build is working just as well for me as an earlier build from Jan's repo:

I'm using the DM200 VDSL BLOB (v5.7.B.5.0.7). There was a full re-sync a few hours into the connection, but the NBN connection I'm on is weirdly affecting the negotiation of SRA (I believe this is an issue in the Lantiq xDSL BLOB running in NBN's Broadcom environment - despite defaulting to dynamic SRA in both directions it's losing downstream SRA); there were some very minor SRA adjustments a few hours after the re-sync but since then it's been rock stable. Neither the re-sync nor the SRA adjustments appear to be related to Jan's vectoring changes - a Fritz!box 7490 with Fritz!OS 7.29 behaves exactly the same way in this regard on this line (thought the OpenWrt builds get slightly better sync rates).
