This reverts "Merge branch 'dccp' of git://eden-feed.erg.abdn.ac.uk/dccp_exp"
as it accentally contained the wrong set of patches. These will be submitted separately. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

Socket options
==============
-DCCP_SOCKOPT_QPOLICY_ID sets the dequeuing policy for outgoing packets. It takes
-a policy ID as argument and can only be set before the connection (i.e. changes
-during an established connection are not supported). Currently, two policies are
-defined: the "simple" policy (DCCPQ_POLICY_SIMPLE), which does nothing special,
-and a priority-based variant (DCCPQ_POLICY_PRIO). The latter allows to pass an
-u32 priority value as ancillary data to sendmsg(), where higher numbers indicate
-a higher packet priority (similar to SO_PRIORITY). This ancillary data needs to
-be formatted using a cmsg(3) message header filled in as follows:
- cmsg->cmsg_level = SOL_DCCP;
- cmsg->cmsg_type = DCCP_SCM_PRIORITY;
- cmsg->cmsg_len = CMSG_LEN(sizeof(uint32_t)); /* or CMSG_LEN(4) */
-
-DCCP_SOCKOPT_QPOLICY_TXQLEN sets the maximum length of the output queue. A zero
-value is always interpreted as unbounded queue length. If different from zero,
-the interpretation of this parameter depends on the current dequeuing policy
-(see above): the "simple" policy will enforce a fixed queue size by returning
-EAGAIN, whereas the "prio" policy enforces a fixed queue length by dropping the
-lowest-priority packet first. The default value for this parameter is
-initialised from /proc/sys/net/dccp/default/tx_qlen.
DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. The specification mandates use of
service codes (RFC 4340, sec. 8.1.2); if this socket option is not set,

DCCP_SOCKOPT_GET_CUR_MPS is read-only and retrieves the current maximum packet
size (application payload size) in bytes, see RFC 4340, section 14.
-DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS is also read-only and returns the list of CCIDs
-supported by the endpoint (see include/linux/dccp.h for symbolic constants).
-The caller needs to provide a sufficiently large (> 2) array of type uint8_t.
-
-DCCP_SOCKOPT_CCID is write-only and sets both the TX and RX CCIDs at the same
-time, combining the operation of the next two socket options. This option is
-preferrable over the latter two, since often applications will use the same
-type of CCID for both directions; and mixed use of CCIDs is not currently well
-understood. This socket option takes as argument at least one uint8_t value, or
-an array of uint8_t values, which must match available CCIDS (see above). CCIDs
-must be registered on the socket before calling connect() or listen().
-
-DCCP_SOCKOPT_TX_CCID is read/write. It returns the current CCID (if set) or sets
-the preference list for the TX CCID, using the same format as DCCP_SOCKOPT_CCID.
-Please note that the getsockopt argument type here is `int', not uint8_t.

-DCCP_SOCKOPT_RX_CCID is analogous to DCCP_SOCKOPT_TX_CCID, but for the RX CCID.

DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVER_TIMEWAIT enables the server (listening socket) to hold
