Subject[PATCH] restore skb_copy_datagram, removed from 2.6.11-rc2, breaking VMWare
Those of you who are using VMWare 4.5 will find that 2.6.11-rc2
removes the public function "skb_copy_datagram", breaking VMWare
(and any other module using that interface *sigh*).

The attached patch restores the (little harmless wrapper) function.
