I Tested your patch. I have now the 2.6.25 behavior, this means:

Tunnel get established:

pluto[19927]: "net-net" #10: STATE_QUICK_I2: sent QI2, IPsec SA 
established tunnel mode {ESP=>0x98e84828 <0xded66bc0 xfrm=3
DES_0-HMAC_SHA1 NATOA=none NATD=none DPD=enabled}

However ONE policy (invalid) of the flow that initiated the tunnel shows 
up. Any other communication will work ok.

For example if the tunnel is initiated by a ping from 192.168.211.10 to 
192.168.215.10, the tunnel will get established but I will not see any 
response to the pings HOWEVER I could ssh from 192.168.211.10 to 
192.168.215.10. If however I started the tunnel by doing ssh from 
192.168.211.10 to 192.168.215.10 it will not work but a ping will work.
 From what I have seen a policy get inserted for the protocol of the 
flow that initiated the tunnel, and when I delete this policy by hand 
then everything works

Regards,
