This patchset against net-next adds support for RDS sockets. RDS is an
Oracle-originated protocol used to send IPC datagrams (up to 1MB)
reliably, and is used currently in Oracle RAC and Exadata products.

Perhaps I missed it earlier, but what is the rationale for putting
this as a socket type into the kernel? I assume they also work
directly as implemented in user space using raw sockets or similar,
don't they?

You want me to implement my fancy protocol in userspace???

Do I even get to write it in C or do I need to use Ruby?
