Andi - Ubuntu has reverted this patch for both Lucid (2.6.32) and
Natty (2.6.38) as it appears to cause a networking regression, though
we never really figured out root cause. Empirically, reverting the
patch solved the issue. Eric Biederman theorized that it uncovered a
user space issue (trying to read before listen), but the bug reporter
seems to have lost interest in testing kernels so we couldn't ever pin
it down.

We also decided that reverting this patch was likely OK because we
couldn't find any Launchpad reports of the Ooops mentioned in the
patch commit log, nor does a google search turn up any hits.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'm dropping it.
-Andi
