+ * INET		An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX
+ *		operating system.  INET is implemented using the  BSD Socket
+ *		interface as the means of communication with the user level.
+ *
+ *		Pseudo-driver for the loopback interface.
+ *
+ * Version:	@(#)loopback.c	1.0.4b	08/16/93
+ *
+ * Authors:	Ross Biro, <bir7@leland.Stanford.Edu>
+ *		Fred N. van Kempen, <waltje@uWalt.NL.Mugnet.ORG>
+ *		Donald Becker, <becker@scyld.com>
+ *
+ *		Alan Cox	:	Fixed oddments for NET3.014
+ *		Alan Cox	:	Rejig for NET3.029 snap #3
+ *		Alan Cox	: 	Fixed NET3.029 bugs and sped up
+ *		Larry McVoy	:	Tiny tweak to double performance
+ *		Alan Cox	:	Backed out LMV's tweak - the linux mm
+ *					can't take it...
+ *              Michael Griffith:       Don't bother computing the checksums
+ *                                      on packets received on the loopback
+ *                                      interface.
+ *		Alexey Kuznetsov:	Potential hang under some extreme
+ *					cases removed.
