As a result of fixing tcp-md5 end of last year,

both of this (incoming validation + SPD integ) is on my TODO list on
position 10 (I am currently working on item 3) and there is more ipsec
work in the middle.

I also have tcp-md5 for IPv6 implementation on the same card.

I am willing to help or review patches in case someone wants to do it
now.
