No there is not. In my humble opinion it's a *really* bad idea to implement
something that vulnarable to external attacks and buffer overflows inside the
kernel. The often claimed performance benefit can as easily be achieved with
accept filters (see esp. accf_http(9)) and kqueue(9). There is really no
need to put this into the kernel.
