I like this work very much and will add this to net-2.6.25
But I will have to combine it all into one patch.

You cannot have one patch which breaks the build in any way.  All of
the kernel must build properly after each patch in your patchset is
applied.

Since patch 1 renames all of the sk_stream_*() functions, TCP and SCTP
stop building.

We enforce this rule, otherwise when users try to use "git bisect" to
find out where regressions are added, they will get stuck in places
like this where the tree will not build due to such careless
changesets.

Thank you.
