For PF_UNIX, SOCK_RAW is synonymous with SOCK_DGRAM (cf.
net/unix/af_unix.c). This is a tad obscure, but libpcap uses it.

My only concern is what effect this will have on existing policy.
Prior to this patch PF_UNIX/SOCK_RAW will result in the generic
"socket" class where after this patch it will result in the
"unix_dgram_socket".??I believe this is the right change, but it
seems
like this should be wrapped by a policy capability, yes?
I doubt it is worth a policy capability.  Permission to create/use
socket tends to be far rarer than permission to create/use
unix_dgram_socket; looks like we never allow the former without the
latter in Fedora, for example.
