No problem.

As far as the kernel is concerned, yes.  There was a problem in the
kernel of the sk_security_struct->sclass variable not being initialized
correctly which the posted patch fixes as well as a problem with the ssh
daemon rejecting all connections with IP options.  Looking at the ssh
code it appears that they wanted to reject source routed connections but
they were a bit heavy handed and simply rejected connections if any
options were present.
