Hi Neil,

here's another minor comment:

...

The daddr that is extracted here will only ever be used to build
another PKTINFO cmsg when sending the reply. So it would be
much easier to just store the raw control message in the svc_rqst,
without looking at its contents, and send it out along with the reply,
unchanged.
