Actually Eric has pointed out the critical issue with this -- if a task
(whose socket's queue we're about to peek) is currently peek-ing this
queue himself, we will peek only the queue's tail and will potentially 
break this task's peeking in case he uses the _MORE/_AGAIN macros :(


I was thinking about another option of doing the same, how about introducing
the peek offset member on sock (get/set via sockopt) which works like

* if == -1, then peek works as before
* if >= 0, then each peek/recvmsg will increase/decrease the value so that
  the next peek peeks next data

It's questionable what to do if the peek_off points into the middle of a
datagram however. Here's an example of how this looks for datagram sockets
(tested on pf_unix), for stream this requires more patching.

What do you think? Does it make sense to go on with this making other 
->recvmsg handlers support peeking offset?
