I don't plan to MFC it, but there is nothing that would blocks such MFC.

Of course internals of the functions would be different - using mutex instead
of the epoch to sync access to address lists.

I can provide patch for you, but you would be responsive for MFC. I don't
have any 12-based systems to test changes.
