Given this is an IP level option, check could be done at IP level, so that other protocols
can use it too ?

Oops, this is stupid, we dont have the socket pointer at IP level :)

Right.

But we can later add a helper to place in each protocols receive path,
at the point where it first has a socket to work with.

I'm going to apply Stephen's original patch.

Thanks!
