Please apply. The rather long patch description is from the submitter,
Norbert Eicker, I don't know if that's alright, or if I should ask to
have it trimmed.

Thanks,

are you sure it can't send out fragmented IP frames?  what's really
going on here?

Pretty sure that fragmented IP frames are not send out. Here's a small test 
using ttcp and tcpdump reproducing the problem (I assume a MTU of 1500):

Hence if I understand that correctly, NFS over UDP doesn't work at all as NFS
uses 8 KiB UDP packets by default?
