It's totally fragile, and that's why it's currently broken in production.
The fragile ship sailed when networking decided to depend on users setting
the socket's GFP_ flags correctly to avoid corruption.

Meantime, this problem needs fixing in a way that makes everyone happy.
This fix doesn't make it less fragile, but it may (hopefully) address the
previous criticisms enough that something gets done to fix it.
