if(stack>80% && SYN) drop_without_even_allocating_anything();

feasible?

I'm looking at discussing this in detail to come up with a solution so
that a linux box doesn't keel over totally blind even under heavy inbound SYN
attack. I'll do some studies of the network path and see if we can come
up with a novel solution that is viable for 2.3.
