The code said specifically why it was there. Unless you are planning
to implement CMSG_DATA massaging in compat_linux in the next few
weeks, I am putting it back. It is complicated to do the CMSG_DATA
massaging, and not needed for the i386, which is where most emulated
code runs. I think the ability to run xoveroffice is more important
than this tiny hack.

I also fail to understand why you proceeded backing this out, when
I explicitly replied to your e-mail explaining why it was done.
