I discussed this issue with Ilpo just yesterday regarding 2.6.16, and
the result of our discussion was that I reverted it.

TCP being in some situations a bit more conservative than it should be
isn't a big issue and not worth backporting with a risk of introducing
a regression.

I'd recommend you simply drop the two patches for 2.6.20.
