linux-user: manage bind with a socket of SOCK_PACKET type.
This is obsolete, but if we want to use dhcp with an old distro (like debian
etch), we need it. Some users (like dhclient) use SOCK_PACKET with AF_PACKET
and the kernel allows that.
packet(7)
In Linux 2.0, the only way to get a packet socket was by calling
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_PACKET, protocol). This is still supported but
strongly deprecated. The main difference between the two methods is
that SOCK_PACKET uses the old struct sockaddr_pkt to specify an inter‐
face, which doesn't provide physical layer independence.
struct sockaddr_pkt {
unsigned short spkt_family;
unsigned char spkt_device[14];
unsigned short spkt_protocol;
};
spkt_family contains the device type, spkt_protocol is the IEEE 802.3
protocol type as defined in <sys/if_ether.h> and spkt_device is the
device name as a null-terminated string, for example, eth0.
