Minor change suggested to a comment below, but looks good otherwise.

I like the BUILD_BUG_ON() check, but for reasons very similar to the
unix_skb_params changes I don't really like the "should never become
an issue" commentary.  Granted, it is unlikely, but I don't think it
is wise to thumb our nose at fate.
