I'm not sure this is an MFCable change because:

(a) The new function pointer is inserted in the middle of the data protosw
     data structure, changing the interpretation of existing compiled protosw
     structures.

(b) Even if they were at the end of the structure, existing compiled protocols
     might well have garbage (or un-related data) beyond the end of the data
     structure, leading to a non-NULL pointer that is not a pointer to a flush
     function.
