Nope. I just skimmed the RFC and it sounds like a bit of a hack, though
I am sure it can be done cleanly in the source tree without unnecessary
code duplication or interference at the user-kernel boundary.
I look forward to seeing patches for this. It would be interesting to
see if hardware checksum offloading can be taught to do it, cleanly,
though I imagine that is something much further down the line.
