This only actually affects the lucid master branch as the fixes were in
mainline (correctly) by v2.6.34.  The lucid/fsl-imx51 branch  does not
have the stable backport at this time and so is also unaffected.

The bug itself is limited to the ip6_tunnel tunnelling driver.  This
driver is used for tunnelling non-ipv6 traffix in ipv6 packets; this is
not a tunnelling device for carrying ipv6 over ipv4.  Given the very low
penetration of ipv6 as primary transport I surmise this will give us a
very very low exposure in our userbase.

The fix is simple and should be arriving via -stable shortly, however as
it is not currently visible on the longterm queue I will push an
equivalent patch to the kernel-team@ list shortly for review.
