My only concern is what effect this will have on existing policy.
Prior to this patch PF_UNIX/SOCK_RAW will result in the generic
"socket" class where after this patch it will result in the
"unix_dgram_socket".  I believe this is the right change, but it seems
like this should be wrapped by a policy capability, yes?
