unable to use socket.inet in non-sleepable contexts

[sav]

some functions in socket.inet could come in handy while scripting filters (i.e., in softirq), but currently, we are unable to load them, as the following error occurs:

cannot use 'socket' class on non-sleepable runtime

could we have a workaround allowing some of these functions to be used from softirq? for instance, I wanted to use socket.inet.ntoa.
