Wouldn't it be better to push these too into .37 as they prevent the kernel from "oopsing" ? Or are we way to late for this ?

This is correct, but I have to look which previous versions might be also affected... and what should I today when I've would have done everything yesterday ;)

For example "ensure that eth_type_trans gets linear memory" may be a candidate for 2.6.36.x. It needs some merging due to other patches in that area.

I will prepare these patches and send it as reply for this mail.
