I am afraid not.
strparser is very different from skb verdict, upper layer (e.g. HTTP)
protocol messages may be splitted accross sendmsg() call's, strparser
is the only place where we can assemble the messages and parse them as a
whole.
And I don't think we have to use KCM together with strparser. Therefore,
even _if_ KCM can be deprecated, strparse still can't.
