You guys need to fix the subject line (like this), and make sure that
the right people are cc'd. This is not a "stable" issue - stable
cannot revert stuff that hasn't been reverted upstream.

So instead of stable and Greg, it should be netdev and Davem.

David/John: multiple people are complaining about that commit. It
really should be reverted, or a fix found. It's broken.

I can do the revert, but it would be better coming from the networking people.
