I am confused by that response given that sk_bound_dev_if is one of the 
key principals for the VRF implementation. Applications wanting to 
communicate over interfaces in a VRF have to set sk_bound_dev_if. If 
sk_bound_dev_if is not set by the kernel when the child socket is 
created the TCP handshake will not complete. It is not something that 
can be deferred until after accept.
