Quoting Xu:
"his fixes a number of weird crashes including those AES crashes
that people have been seeing with the 2.4 backport + ipt_conntrack."
and this bug is RC since it hard freeze the system. I think it is worth to
have it fixed asap. Also.. if it has been reported it means that people
are using it.
