Thank you for catching this. the issue is caused with patch
"[IPV6] XFRM: Fix connected socket to use transformation."
which I sent to netdev.
(a85d5450ddeb959bdf9e4603f9c06e9d79217cfa on net-2.6.24).

I'd prefer to modify the original patch to use "ifdef CONFIG_XFRM"
than changing kernel config depends. Does it make sense?

Please review the attached patch.
