The patch is included here. I'm not entirely convinced that it's correct.
It just deletes one line, in tcp_readable, that caused it to break if it
sees a PUSH, which according to my pet TCP guru, is incorrect.
I haven't had time to test what damage this might do elsewhere, but it
makes Java's available() work, and nothing seems to have broken. However,
since not much seemed to suffer before from FIONREAD being broken, I
guess that's not surprising. Let me know
