[K42-discussion] Network subsystem tieins?

[Michal Ostrowski]

You need to tie into the linux stack and at some point during processing
make a decision that a particular packet should go down your new path.

Note that K42 code doesn't really know about skb's, but making such a
decision requires you to poke inside an skb -- meaning you have to dig
into the Linux code.
