When. However we won't end up with a single protinfo union because you can
stack protocols. IP over IPX, IP over DDP that kind of stuff all exist. That
means trouble - thats why the AX.25/NetROM stuff is structured via pointers -
you can have a netrom socket carrying multiple sets of IP data itself running
over an AX.25 connection that may be shared with a user socket and/or IP
traffic.

Worry about it post 2.0, because otherwise you are arguing about 'old'
structures.
