I'm not really sure why the caller of daemon_become_new_user() needs to check the OS type to decide on 'access_datapath' and then daemon_become_new_user() verifies that it's correct for the OS. I would guess that it could just be hardcoded for the caller (e.g. always "true" for ovs-vswitchd) and then daemon_become_new_user() only needs to do anything special if it's running on Linux.
