Could at least the patch with the subject

   netfilter: ipset: fix hash size checking in kernel

   The hash size must fit both into u32 (jhash) and the max value of
   size_t. The missing checking could lead to kernel crash, bug reported
   by Seblu.

be submitted into 3.4-rc7? Any non most-recent ipset package compiled with 
gcc-4.7 or above can trigger the bug.

Best regards,
Jozsef
