[GIT]: Networking

[David Miller]

Just one regression fix here.

When we are doing multiqueue TX, we accidently try to fetch the
protocol inside of IP fragments when computing the hash.

This completely kills performance since what we use for the ports is
essentially random garbage, and as a result this causes lots of packet
reordering and other nasties.

For drivers that have TX multiqueue support, this creates a serious
performance regression against 2.6.26

I know of at least one piece of hardware which has this same bug in
it's silicon for doing RX multiqueue hashing :-)

Noticed and fixed by Alexander Duyck.

Please pull, thanks a lot!
