Subject: Ask For Comment: add routines for exchanging data between sock buffer
 and scatter list

There seems no routines provided for exchanging data directly
between sock buffer and scatter list in both scatterlist.c and skbuff.c,
so comes this work.
And it is hard to determine into which file these routines should be added,
so a head file is added.
