Miles, I didn't check this yet, but since there were some considerable
changes, including locking, you could try with reverting some of these
last 3 patches to net/packet by Denis:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.25.git;a=history;f=net/packet/af_packet.c;h=485af5691d64270a02322925a6ccfad9d02b7f78;hb=HEAD
