SubjectRe: [PATCHv4 4/6] Allow setting FD_CLOEXEC flag for new sockets

Have you given thought to having to perform compat translation on this?
Today it's only copied directly from the user pointer into the union
in the task_struct.

I'd love if we could only use fixed-width fields in the interface to
avoid the compat nonsense.
