Looks good to me.

I wonder if we should still do these two changes in the kernel:

- include asm/socket.h from linux/socket.h for consistency
- move the defines that got moved from asm/sockios.h to linux/sockios.h
  back to the previous location to help anyone who is user
  newer kernel headers with older glibc headers.
