kernel TCP socket routines?

[Senor Jalapeno]

i'm writing a kernel module with the goal of enabling two kernels on
two different machines to communicate with each other.  my question:
is there a kernel interface to set up & work with TCP sockets? maybe
the linux/net/ipv4/af_inet.c stuff?

currently i'm just writing my own kernel socket routines which take hints 
from linux/net/socket.c. it's a drag to have to do this, because i have to 
mess with all the file descriptor stuff that socket.c sets up, which i don't 
really need, since my module is happy to work with "struct socket"s 
exclusively and keep track of them.

any help would be appreciated.
