Hi Greg,

Hmm, thats a problem, we need a stable 3.0 kernel for sure.

Should distros handle this tricky problem themselves ?

I tried to find a solution, but we had so many changes in this part of
the code that its really hard.

I see 3 ways :

1) Warn the world 3.0 is unfixable and should be avoided.
    Ask stable team to instead support 3.1 or 3.2

2) Disable redirects on 3.0

3) Maybe try to revert f39925dbde77

(ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.)

Unfortunately this was introduced in 2.6.39, and it seems trying to
revert it on 3.0 tree is not trivial.
as the stable maintainer. What's your opinion?
