3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

commit 0ef38d70d4118b2ce1a538d14357be5ff9dc2bbd upstream.

The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 breaks networking on
alpha (there is a follow-up fix 5cfe8f1ba5eebe6f4b6e5858cdb1a5be4f3272a6,
but networking is still broken even with the second patch).

I wonder whether that follow-up (partial) fix mentioned
(5cfe8f1ba5eebe6f4b6e5858cdb1a5be4f3272a6) should be pulled into 3.12 stable
too?

Cheers
Michael.

I think it doesn't have to be backported.
