Below is a patch against davem/net-2.6.25. It might look very spartan,
but that is actually all that is needed on a sane system. No class E
macros or so needed.

Only the ipv4_is_badclass() might need renaming if you think it really
needs a name change. Or maybe a comment. Comments please :)

IPv4: enable use of 240/4 address space

This short patch modifies the IPv4 networking to enable use of the
