OK.  I'm about halfway through the review of struct msghdr instances in the
current tree right now, will post user_msghdr patch once I'm done.  Already
found a dumb bug in o2net_send_tcp_msg() while doing that - broken by me
back in 3.15 ;-/  Will send a fix to Linus in an hour or so...

Sure, no problem - AFAICS, the only real difference from rebase of April one
I've quoted upthread is that you add include of socket.h into skbuff.h; the
rest of the differences is pure whitespace noise.

Ping me when you put it there, OK?  I'll rebase the rest of old stuff on
top of it (similar helpers, mostly).
