Christ Eric, you clearly didn't even compile-test this one either.

Which is pretty bad, considering that the whole and only *point* of
the patch is to make it compile.

The config option is CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES (with an 'S' at the end), but
your patch has 'CONFIG_SYN_COOKIE' (without the S).

Which means that now it doesn't compile when syncookies are *enabled*.

I really wanted to release -rc7 today. But no way am I applying these
kinds of totally untested patches. Can you guys please get your act
together?

PLEASE?

Stop with the "this might just work" crap. Because -rc7 is just too
late to dick around like that.
