Which is there to please Linus so that he didn't want
to rip out the entire modularity of IPv6.
Somewhen along 2.5 I hope to have enough time to separate
UDP, and TCP into their common modules, plus IPv4/IPv6
specific ones and have the entire shebang to do proper
usage counting. (That is, have a IPv6 ONLY system built
from modules -- unless someone beats me to that goal.)
