actually the divert sockets should really not be in PF_INET

Good point. I'd forgotten that they were abusing the fields in sin_zero.
"they" == "me" :-)
if we made it its own protocol family we could define our own sockaddr
types too and have actual fields for that stuff...
This is not OK for IPv6, although the kludge can still be perpetuated by
looking at sa_len and stashing what divert wants at the end of
sockaddr_in6.
So there IS a case for making them a separate protocol family if
someone's going to do a clean implementation of divert sockets for IPv6.
