Very nice.  Glad to see someone working on this.

That will be a _much_ harder sell.  A number of the network developers
have been trying for much time to get a "blob" added to the skbuff
structure without much success.  I have some links around here somewhere
detailing their arguments and possible ways they might finally get this
into the kernel in the future.  We will have to work very closely with
them on this issue if we ever want that portion of the patch to be
accepted.

Good luck on the socket stuff,
