I don't object to this change being committed now, but it does mean I
will have to revise some uncommitted work.

Porting it to IPv6 is OK. However, I would prefer people did not bring
in itojun's changes to add the input verification path at this time as
they may break the semantics of passive open.

Basically doing it 'right' requires security policy support for TCP
sockets at the MD5 level. There is a risk that bringing in the input
changes now would break the semantics of existing programs such as
Quagga and XORP.

Regards,
BMS
