No, they are not.

Also, I just noticed another issue with the patch. You initialize the mutexes,
which are global, in the ip_init() which is called for every VNET. That would
lead to panic of initializing already initialized mutex. If you followed my advice,
that would not happen. Now VIMAGE+INVARIANTS is broken instantly, and w/o
INVARIANTS may panic if VIMAGE created under IP traffic.

My comment that purging from a bucket that is determined by source IP has
security implications was also ignored.

I will fix this all myself.
