The idea to mark, for example, IPSEC key management daemon's sockets

Here is initial support for size truncation.
It has some problems with unconnected socket closing.

Sometimes when doing my 10-GigE testing, I would get results like
the following:
chance% nuttcp -w2m 192.168.88.8
1184.3614 MB / 10.04 sec = 989.8235 Mbps 12 %TX 9 %RX
This seemed to indicate it was using one of the GigE interfaces
rather than the 10-GigE interface. Both chance and chance4

I think the kernel is definitely within it's rights to interpret
section 4.3 of RFC2408 the way that it does.
We can say that, but then, we have to accept that this interpretation
can lead to interoperability problems !
In __alloc_skb(), the use of skb_shinfo() which casts a u8 * to the
shared info structure results in gcc being forced to do a reload of the
pointer since it has no information on possible aliasing. Fix this by
using a pointer to refer to skb_shared_info.

In af_unix, a rwlock is used to protect internal state. At least on my
P4 with HT it is faster to use a spinlock due to the simpler memory
barrier used to unlock. This patch raises bw_unix to ~690K/s.

I mentioned LA-4113 so that potential users can find this driver and
tell me the ID. This patch has a great user_impact/code_impact ratio,
should be OK for 2.6.15 or 2.6.15.x.

sock_init can be done as a core_initcall instead of calling
it directly in init/main.c
Also I removed an out of date #ifdef.
