Subject[patch 19/31] Fix tcindex classifier ABI borkage...
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

[NET_SCHED]: cls_tcindex: fix compatibility breakage

Userspace uses an integer for TCA_TCINDEX_SHIFT, the kernel was changed
to expect and use a u16 value in 2.6.11, which broke compatibility on
big endian machines. Change back to use int.
