In code I'm busy working on the patch I'm decrypting may be on the receive
queue several times.  rxrpc has a jumbo packet concept whereby a packet may be
constructed in such a way that it's actually several packets stitched together
- the idea being that a router can split it up (not that any actually do that
I know of) - but each segment of the jumbo packet may be enqueued as a
separate entity.

I will apply something very similar to my tree.  Andy's patch does not apply
as-is due to conflicts.
