Just a small update.  We have run some very basic tests with 2.6.28.  
The patch seems to work fine and we don't see excessive wake-ups from 
neigh anymore (thanks Tero for helping with the tests).  We will still 
run one of our full release test rounds in order to make sure that there 
are no regressions.  I'll let you know when we have some more results.
