	Looks good but should not be applied now because
we should first put some changes for cp->flags, we are
reaching the limit of 16 bits for cp->flags. Your
intention is IP_VS_CONN_F_BACKLOG not to be sync-ed and
I agree. So, your patch will be applied after other
changes. I think, Simon will fix it later.
