Not sure, of course we are using uapi. But i see, that defines like SOL_XXX is not
defined in uapi headers. For example SOL_IP is defined in include/linux/socket.h,
but userspace app uses SOL_IP from in.h (at least on my machine). E.g. SOL_XXX is
not exported to user.

Yes or course, in next versions i'll update this test for using
more long iovs.
