No, this is cruft.

Hmm, it seems that holding the lock while processing the queue isn't
really the way to go.  Perhaps comparing the pid of the other end of
the socket against the list in the context is best?

Yep, okay.

Yep, okay.

I check type and state on restart globally and per-protocol.  Backlog
could use it though too, yeah.

Thanks!
