Tell userspace not to do stupid things?
This isn't a problem. The kernel assumes that whatever userspace does,
once the connection is set up again everything's the way it was before.
If that's not true, then userspace is to blame, not kernel space.
Adding a "key" which we need to pass is going to make things wildly more
complicated for no benefit.
