Well enabling SO_OOBINLINE would contradict POSIX.  Much as I'd
like to have it on by default, I don't think it's really worth it.

In any case such applications will break right now because URG
notifications can be merged due to out-of-order delivery, which
would cause OOB data to go in-band.

Cheers,
