I think that should behave like a small squaw eating the bear. Right now
we _can_ send netlink preparatory work + PF_UNIX + PF_PACKET. This code
is ready, functional and complete. Let's send it now to reduce amount of
work for maintaining.

after that, we can continue the work. I think that we can send all
remaining IPv4 code after while in this cycle. The code has been
significantly changed and porting/splitting/re-splitting takes longer
than I have expected. All sysctl/sysfs handling is out of scope for me
now and, I think, Dave is not a right person to accept this code.

It will be very good if we'll have functional IPv4 in this kernel. All
other staff looks like a pure bonus. At least we should test and
stabilize it.
