I proposed this approach two years ago at FOSDEM. msocket is similar
to socketat but it has a pathname instead of a file descriptor as its
first argument.
If the network stacks were special files, sysadm may provide more than one
stack to the users, each application can decide which stack to use.
A "default" stack can be defined for backwards compatibility: the "socket" syscall uses the default stack.
