This #define is in the #ifdef __KERNEL__ section.  I don't want t
change all the in-kernel users to say __kernel_sockaddr.  This is
just the same as the preceding 'typedef __kernel_sa_family_t
sa_family_t' except that you can't create struct aliases that way.

Aha, I didn't catch that part.  Then this is fine, thanks for
explaining Ben.

Actually, this patch breaks the build, specifically of ifenslave.c

I'll leave the other patches in, but you'll need to respin this one.

Right, it looks like this will have to wait for a proper resolution of
the conflicts between kernel and libc types.

Ben.
