I applied it to net-2.6, which is how we handle bug fixes.  The
fix naturally propagates to net-next-2.6 the next tiem I do a merge.

This is why I found it quite strange when you were talking about
net-next-2.6 wrt. that bug fix.  We never apply clear important fixes
to net-next-2.6 first, then backport it to net-2.6

If such a net-2.6 dependency exists on a net-next-2.6 patch, you just
need to let me know about it so I can do the merge before applying it.
That's all.
