It cannot have been intentional as there was no mention of the change to the userspace interface in the git changelog (and the interface version number was not changed).
A new patch is needed to revert the part of the patch that changed the userspace interface.
Please don't forget to copy in the appropriate maintainers when you send messages like this one: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=115547174417490&w=2 so they can provide acks:-)
