It would indeed be nice to not execute a number of tests in
datagram_poll that will never be triggered. It will speed up things
for sure. But we need to make sure that removing those flags that
datagram_poll sets do not have any bad effects in the code above this.
But let us tentatively keep this patch for the next version of the
patch set. Just need to figure out how to solve your problem in a nice
way first. See discussion in patch 0/3.
