SubjectRe: [BK PATCH] Fix ip_conntrack_amanda data corruption bug that breaks amanda dumps

So the original ip_conntrack_amanda was already illegal. If only such
nonsense caused heavy kernel logging (let it oops or GPF or whatver),
that's a much quicker way to pinpoint the bug than run amanda with a
special devnull configuration some dozen times.

Where is the SKB stuff documented?
