Since this technically fixes a major usability bug, I'm
happy to apply this with the ipv6 side for 2.6.21

It is up to Yoshifuji how to handle this.  He can either add
this patch to his ipv6 bug fix submission for 2.6.21, or he
can just submit the ipv6 parts and I can merge Herbert's ipv4
patch myself.

Just let me know what to do.
