A key benefit of this refactoring is that it decouples the socket option
configuration from the underlying transport protocol. This makes it
easier to extend nvmet-tcp to support other protocols, such as MPTCP, in
the future, as do_sock_setsockopt() abstracts away protocol-specific
differences without requiring per-option protocol-specific wrappers.  

We really should have generic helpers in the networking code for this
and not duplicate them in driver using socket options.

What do you mean by "for this" ?
