No, because the socket will be used by the socket code inside UML, it won't
communicate with the socket on the host.
What's needed is a little driver which looks like a socket inside UML, and
which talks to a socket on the host, bridging between them. This would be
useful for other things, such as making a host X socket available inside
a UML that has no network.
