Could at least the patch with the subject

   netfilter: ipset: fix hash size checking in kernel

   The hash size must fit both into u32 (jhash) and the max value of
   size_t. The missing checking could lead to kernel crash, bug reported
   by Seblu.

be submitted into 3.4-rc7? Any non most-recent ipset package compiled with 
gcc-4.7 or above can trigger the bug.

And only root can trigger it if he gives bogus parameters right?

If that's the case, the exposure is to privileged users committing an
operator error, so I don't see it as so important.
