Hmm...
My patch _removes_ them from socket structures!

--- a/include/net/sock.h
+++ b/include/net/sock.h
@@ -114,10 +114,12 @@ struct sock_common {
        volatile unsigned char  skc_state;
        unsigned char           skc_reuse;
        int                     skc_bound_dev_if;

        unsigned int            skc_hash;
+#endif
        struct proto            *skc_prot;
 };

I specially have only one hash structure in the socket - skc_bind_node -
to be used for statistics and remove hash and skc_node (and for netlink
broadcasting too), so this code reduces socket structure by 12 bytes on
x86 (20 bytes on x86_64).
