commit 7aef4136566b0 ("powerpc32: rewrite csum_partial_copy_generic()
based on copy_tofrom_user()") introduced a bug when destination
address is odd and initial csum is not null

The purpose of this patch was not to address Alessio's issue, but to fix=

=20

a huge issue on checksum calculation which induces breakdown of TCP=20
connections.

I think it is worth commiting it upstream and on impacted stable=20
releases, allthought we don't have yet identified the issue Alessio's has.

OK. I'll put it back into fixes on Monday if I haven't heard anything
further.
