Good point.

Agreed.

Somewhat off topic: the *ignored and *verdict parameters
seem to be a horrible way to pass this information around.
I think we can use ERR_PTR instead, though I'd have to
write the patch to see if that is true or not. If its
not perhaps we can have a small structure used as
the return value of ip_vs_schedule() and pp->conn_schedule().

        struct ip_vs_scheduler_status {
                ip_vs_conn *cp;
                int flag;
        }

However, I do wonder if the defrag change is stable material.
If so, I'll hold off on any re-working ideas.
