Ack, I was wondering about the other transports such as vmci or hyperv.

I can move the logic below in the codebase that assigns the transport,
after checking 'psk'.

Fair point. I was thinking more towards exclusive flags values
(purposes), but that's fine with the bitwise operator if we would get a
set of flag values together. I will also update the field name to
'svm_flags', let me know if we should keep the previous one or there is
a better option.
