A prctl() option (PR_SET_DATAPLANE) is added

Dumb question: what does the term "dataplane" mean in this context?  I
can't see the relationship between those words and what this patch
does.

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't gotten around to searching
DATAPLANE yet.

I would assume we want a name that is more meaningful for what is
happening.
