Add a system call for creating sockets in a specified network namespace.

What for?

I can see many uses if my understanding is correct..
ex, from mother namespace:
fdx = open socket at namespace blah
from mother namespace, read/write/poll fdx 
(eg add route with netlink socket)

This particular usecase is unneeded once you have the "enter" ability.

cheers,
