I guess this is fine, but I think you can use one of the two "sk_padding"
bits in struct sock instead of making the structure larger.

It shouldn't make the structure larger since there's a hole in the structure:

 ...

		u16			sk_gso_max_segs;
  ---> 2-byte hole here
		unsigned long	        sk_lingertime;

but I'll quite happily shift it to sk_padding.

Ok, then that's fine.
