The 3.5.y.z extended stable tree already contains this commit as well.

Hi Johannes,

thanks for remembering about this. We've switched to the 3.8 kernel
recently, and we are pulling stable kernels in regularly. Now we are
at 3.8.3.

I've checked all of 3.0.x, 3.2.x, 3.4.x, and 3.8.x   They all have this
patch applied.

Those are the official stable kernels, everything else is outside of my
realm.

I got back to this for a customer running 3.5, and after many failed
attempts realized that you have to have iptables for this problem to
actually happen. I reverse-bisected that the *fix* is
6caab7b0544e83e6c160b5e80f5a4a7dd69545c7, in 3.7.

Is there still any stable kernel 3.5/3.6 (or possibly before, though for
iwlwifi before doesn't matter) that this should be applied to?
