Thanks Dave.  I think we need this for 2.6.19 too.

[IPSEC]: Policy list disorder

The recent hashing introduced an off-by-one bug in policy list insertion.
Instead of adding after the last entry with a lesser or equal priority,
we're adding after the successor of that entry.

This patch fixes this and also adds a warning if we detect a duplicate
entry in the policy list.  This should never happen due to this if clause.

Cheers,
