Now I'm even more grumpy, if I only apply the first 3 patches:

net/sctp/ipv6.c: In function ‘sctp_v6_dst_lookup’:
net/sctp/ipv6.c:259: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast

it goes away later but you're not testing the intermediate steps
of your SCTP patch backports and as a result you are going to
break bisecting.

I'm reverting this patch series, fix this up and actually test
the intermediate builds and functionality before resubmission.
