No, I don't see any need to do this. If some user reads the socket
with a bad memory area resulting in a EFAULT, we don't care _what_
happens.
Remember: the kernel is there to act for the user, it is NOT there
to cover up for the mistakes the user does. Covering up only hides
the real bugs and you get a bad system over all..
Ok, then I just won't adjust the sequence number back in TCP recvmsg.
No problem, you're right.
