I'm uncertain what the basic implementation should be. If it's a device (i.e.
made with mknod), I'm not sure that's usable as a socket because I don't think
there are accept/connect methods in the character device ops.
If so, that means it needs to be a real socket, and the only room in there
that I know of for plugging in random things is to add a new address family.

No, it's been talked about, but no one has done anything.
