I will definitely advise people against this, since the cost of having
this on by default is absolutely non-trivial.

People keep asking every few releases "where the heck has my performance
gone" and it's because of creeping features like this. This socket
cgroup feature is a prime example of where that kind of stuff comes
from.

I really get irritated when people go "oh, it's just one indirect
function call" and "oh, it's just one more pointer in struct sock"

We work really hard to _remove_ elements from structures and make them
smaller, and to remove expensive operations from the fast paths.

It might take someone weeks if not months to find a way to make a
patch which compensates for the extra overhead your patches are adding.

And I don't think you fully appreciate that.
