Thanks for the feedback.

Re: syn & synack only

The bpf tcp hdr option infrastructure is not only limited to syn
and synack.  It is available to the data/ack/fin pkt also, although
most of the use cases may be limited to syn and synack.
e.g. the latter example tests parsing the 0xeB9F option in FIN.

After a connection is established, the bpf may choose to continue hearing
for (kind 254 and 0xEB9F magic).  bpf_hdr_opt_off is also used to
decide if the tcphdr has the 0xeB9F option and then call the bpf prog
to handle it.

Re: the spaces in TCP_SKB_CB(skb).  I think I can avoid tapping into it.

bpf_hdr_opt_off is only needed upto calling the bpf prog.  i.e. after
the bpf prog returns, the bpf_hdr_opt_off is no longer needed in TCP_SKB_CB.
Like "struct tcp_fastopen_cookie *foc", "u8 *bpf_hdr_opt_off" can be
added to tcp_parse_options() instead of saving it in TCP_SKB_CB(skb).
Then pass it all the way to the bpf prog and also save this to "saved_syn".
Does it address the concern in the spaces in TCP_SKB_CB(skb)?
