It's the socket drivers which _aren't_ in the kernel source which are most likely to exhibit this problem. Anything in the kernel tree was probably converted by Linus, and hence done right. As there are so few socket drivers in his tree, the amount of code duplication wasn't immediately obvious either.
The offenders are the multitude of PCMCIA and CF socket drivers for embedded boards which are floating around. They aren't likely to get merged into 2.4, unfortunately - but I think we should at least make this available in order for them to work correctly.
