This patch seems to cause some problems, I get reproducable freezes
on the receiving system with net-2.6.22 when sending IPsec packets
larger than the mtu (reproduced about 10 times). Reverting this
patch seems to fix it. In a few cases the oops also occured on the
sending system.

Backtrace from UML (sending system):
