CVE-2011-1581
	The bond_select_queue function in drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c
	in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39, when a network device with
	a large number of receive queues is installed but the default
	tx_queues setting is used, does not properly restrict queue
	indexes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
	(BUG and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact
	by sending network traffic.

Following this email is a patch for Natty and Natty ti-omap4 which corrects
this issue.  This is a straight cherry-pick from the mainline commit.

Proposing for Natty and Natty ti-omap4.
