Yes, its really hard to remove completely.  That's why I choose _only_
to handle the SYN cookie "overload" case, and leave the rest locked, and
I also introduced extra locking in the latest patches.  I know it was
not perfect, hence the RFC tag, but I hope I didn't add that many races.

I really appreciate that you will attempt to fix this properly.  Like a
real network ninja ;-).
