The private area of an iocb for network operations contains a struct
scm_cookie. The alternative is to allocate it via kmalloc when needed,
but there isn't currently a way of identifying which network protocols
require the scm_cookie. Since most network protocols do not use it,
would you rather remove the scm_cookie out of the default path and
allow the protocol to choose to create it? That would remove the
dependancy on scm_cookie from sock_iocb entirely.
