How would nginx record client IP address under TCP Multipath?

Not if the servers don't support it.

Apple pushed for a specific reason:
To avoid having a broken TCP session when the IP address of the handheld
changes, which would interrupt Apple's Siri.

But TCP multipath is still not supported by linux mainline and I don't
see efforts on linux-netdev to include it anytime soon. I understand there
is a maintained and uptodate patchset available, but that doesn't mean
it will be included in the kernel soon.

The application will always see the first IP, which connected to the server,
