The TCP MD5 support is broken on any device that does scatter gather.
The MD5 calculation code doesn't support scatter/gather, the md5_calc
API assumes the data follows the TCP header. It is too late to rework this
code for 2.6.26 (and backport to stable). So the sane thing to do is block
use of SG on TCP sockets using MD5 option.
