Maybe not a bug in the Linux kernel itself, but certainly in the real world
that exists around Linux. Similar to how a change to a device driver that
is needed to work around broken hardware is a bug fix, imo.

It's not the same situation at all.

It is easier to fix misconfigured products that exist because of
software and configurations than it is to fix a physical piece of
hardware.

So you could work around it if you wanted to.

I definitely don't see this as -stable material, as a result.  We will
push it to net-next-2.6 and it will thus hit 2.6.36 as previously
mentioned.
