    No there is not. In my humble opinion it's a *really* bad idea to implement
    something that vulnarable to external attacks and buffer overflows inside the
    kernel. The often claimed performance benefit can as easily be achieved with
    accept filters (see esp. accf_http(9)) and kqueue(9). There is really no
    need to put this into the kernel.
