Fixes for this are already in my net-2.6 tree, will send them
off to Linus later today, I was waiting for some netfilter
fixes which I just received:

commit 1386be55e32a3c5d8ef4a2b243c530a7b664c02c

    dccp: fix auto-loading of dccp(_probe)
    
    This fixes commit (38ff3e6bb987ec583268da8eb22628293095d43b) ("dccp_probe:
    Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probe", from 15 Jan).
    
    It fixes the construction of the first argument of try_then_request_module(),
    where only valid return codes from the first argument should be returned.
    
    What we do now is assign the result of register_jprobe() to ret, without
    the side effect of the comparison.

    dccp: fix bug in cache allocation
    
    This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86cfce60d2250111f34f8a084e769f23b16
    ("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the
    vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since
    slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array.
    
    This lead to error messages such as
     FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available
    
     >> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci
    generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character.
    
    Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.
