Well, I had this idea because I found another similar use in include/linux/ip.h
struct inet_sock {
/* sk and pinet6 has to be the first two members of inet_sock */
struct sock sk;
#if defined(CONFIG_IPV6) || defined(CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE)
struct ipv6_pinfo *pinet6;
#endif
/me pleads guilty, Dave, any problem with removing this #ifdef? Humm, I'll think about using
the skb_alloc_extension() idea for struct sock, but this pinet6 sucker is a bit more difficult I guess...
