This patch contains the following linux kernel bug fix:

Description: qeth: EDDP causes program checks on OSA devices.
Symptom: Qeth related network devices running in EDDP mode cause program checks on OSA devices and device will be recovered and network stack stops sending TSO packets.
Problem: Under some circumstances it is possible to copy the header data in one page since there is enough room there and payload data into the second page. But this is not allowed in case of elements_per_skb=1 since the total amount of elements has been calculated first and an array has been allocated representing the elements.
Solution: Keep all skb data (header+payload) together.
Problem-ID: 16261

Everybody should apply this patch.
