I had a privat discussion about this patch with someone from the Debian
Security Team and he's not very happy with this patch. First it changes
some printk messages wich is uncommon for sec patches. Second it changes
functions which can result in kernel incompatibility.
Anyway I had a kernel panic short after deploying this patch on one of my
boxes here. I'm not sure if it's related to this patch but strange anyway.
If you can I would advise you to wait until the OpenWall project comes
up with a clean patch.
