Fine grained locking at the socket level?

Hi,
It would seem that splnet() and frieds now simply return 0,
which I figure is part of making the code look like it used
to. What I'm wondering is why the Giant lock is still used in
the socket layer? I thought sockets had had fine grained
locking applied to them. Am I confused? I'm looking at the
bits du jour (-CURRENT).
Thanks,
George
