Ok, I assume that these changes will get integrated in 2.5 then, does anybody
disagree? Holler now or forever hold your peace (tm) Linus. 8)

I tried it but had problems with incoming connections not being stablished,
and you said that you preferred that it stayed there, on the first
cacheline, so I preferred to submit the patch without that and after this
gets integrated and more widely tested in 2.5 I'll revisit this issue and
try again, trying to look into these issues with IPv6 you've mentioned,
BTW, could you elaborate on that? :)

Now to the next tasks: dedicate some more time to finish the LLC stack for
2.4 and move on to cleanup struct inode (fs.h) for 2.5.
