(for patchwork correspondence)

I still think this patch is perfectly fine but it opens up a hole in the
ip6_append_data logic where it is possible to crash the kernel. Jiri and me
will look after it in the thread " ipv6: udp packets following an UFO enqueued
packet need also be handled by UFO".

So, for the time being, I would like to withdraw my Acked-by until this is
sorted out.

Thanks,

  Hannes
