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.
