Tom posted some fixes for this:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=140261417832399&w=2

I can confirm the first one fixes the issue I was having (10s delay in
ssh login), cfr. http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=140257250715322&w=2

However, the second patch reintroduces the bad behavior again?

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
