The second patch should fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11377
-- Gerhard, can you please test if it makes your problem go away?  (It
won't make the out of memory messages go away, but it should fix the
kernel panic.)

There is still one open report from a user of doing ip=1.2.3.4 on the
kernel command line causing the interface to come up in a nonfunctional
state in 2.6.27 (whereas the same thing worked in 2.6.26), which is
still being bisected.


thanks,
Lennert
