My suggestion then is
a) remove third arg of send_packet(), use skb->len directly
b) implement `unsigned int' as third parameter of packet_sent()
==> Arnaldo what do you think?

.... but then it needs support in the API as well. The broken socket API is
what really
worries me - there would be this one socket option which is only for CCID
3 and only for
experimental work.
