I assume by all this you mean solving the ARP problem. If so, take a
look at this section of the HOWTO which is specific on 2.6 kernels:

http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.arp_problem.html#2.6_arp

In a nutshell: you don't need to patch anything, just set some proc
values and bring up a loopback device (in that order).
