Whoa.  This has grown *alot*.  Care to explain this please?  Patch
creating a Documentation/virtual/vsock.txt would be cool.

*_enqueue + *_dequeue is sending/receiving data, ok.

stream_has_data + stream_has_space + stream_rcvhiwat look like they are
needed for buffer management.  Details please (especially for
stream_rcvhiwat).

What is stream_is_active?
What is *_allow?

What are all those notify_* calls?

Why do you need vsock_transport_{send,recv}_notify_data structs?
Can't this live in vsock_sock->trans?

thanks,
  Gerd
