Thanks Eric,

I have not had a chance to test your code, though it should be easy enough
to do so in the context of Open vSwitch as its CAPWAP implementation makes
use of UDP's encap_rcv (which is how I arrived at adding hook to TCP to
implement STT for Open vSwtich).

I have incorporated your static_key code into a new version of my TCP
encap_rcv patch and that does appear to work. I will post it ASAP.
