We instead opt to use sock_setsockopt which is generally exactly the same and can be easily converted to map to kernel_setsockopt without impacting the code significantly. There are 3 methods we're calling with usec timeval's, and that is significantly different now that this requires a bit more compat code so we split these out to separate compat functions to handle them. Some of the TCP sock functions also have a slightly different signature that we want to split them out (struct socket vs. sock). Some further no longer return success, either.

Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
