Hi all-

sys_socketcall sucks.  If nothing else, it's impossible to filter with
seccomp.  Should we wire up the real socket calls so that user code
can (very slowly) start migrating?

I think the list is:
 - socket
 - bind
 - connect
 - listen
 - accept4
 - getsockname
 - getpeername
 - socketpair
 - send
 - sendto
 - sendmsg
 - recv
 - recvfrom
 - recvmsg
 - shutdown
 - setsockopt

I skipped accept, which is superseded by accept4.  sendmmsg and
recvmmsg are already wired up.

Thoughts?  The patch would be trivial.

Glibc people: If Linux wired up the syscalls, would glibc use them?
