Subject: sk_prot->sendmsg(...) giving me a kernel oops on kernels past 2.6.20

I've searched everywhere (including this list) for a report but couldn't
find anything that can tell me what implementation step(s) I am missing.
Essentially all the kernels past 2.6.20 gives me a kernel oops on the
sendmsg code.

I know the sk_buff changes worked things over quite a bit but I have (or
thought I did) those changes accounted for in our driver. Are there any
specific implementation changes we need to add that we didn't need prior
before we now use sendmsg()? Below is the general gist of the code I am
executing, any pointers to what I am missing would be very welcome.

Thanks a bunch.

Kevin
