Subject: Re: [net-next-2.6 PATCH v9 2/2] TCPCT part 1i: remove old tcp_optlen()
 function

In the only two existing files using the old tcp_optlen() function,
clean up confusing and inconsistent mixing of both byte and word
offsets.  Document assumptions.  David Miller's review sayeth:

    This is transmit, and the packets can only come from the Linux
    TCP stack, not some external entity.

Untested.  No response from testers in 6+ weeks.
