Thank you for this patch! It is a good idea, and it looks good to me!

One small detail: net-next is currently closed [1], and I don't think
this patch can be applied in -net. So except if you plan to take it in
the libcrypto tree for 6.17 -- but that's probably strange -- what I can
do is to apply it in the MPTCP tree, and send it to net-next later on.
Is this OK for you?
