It's poorly named. The sendpage side is so that Lustre's in-kernel
'tcpnal' can get callbacks when an skb tx is completed. I don't know
what the recvpackets thing is for.

It certainly doesn't look like something that will be merged.
(duplicate code, nutty style, questionable double callback registration,
etc)
