this is V4 of my SMC-R patches: Since you are asking for a solution "100% in our own separate module with our own can of worms", we have to give up the transparent detection whether a communication peer can do SMC-R or not (this has been the purpose of the rejected TCP hooks). Instead, we want just the new self-contained SMC-R socket family added to the kernel. By the way, since August 2015 the SMC-R Informational RFC is no longer a draft, but published as RFC7609.
The tcp_set_keepalive() layering hack is still beyond what I'm willing to apply, sorry. Also, as a coding style note, all of your code needs to be adjusted to declare local function variables in "reverse christimas tree" order, that is longest line to shortest.
