All transports should aim for identical semantics.  I think virtio-vsock
should behave the same as VMCI since userspace applications should be
transport-independent.

Let's view this as a vsock bug.  Is it feasible to change the VMCI
behavior so it's more like TCP sockets?  If not, let's change the
virtio-vsock behavior to be compatible with VMCI.
