Public bug reported:

Are these socket flags defined in include/linux/socket.h in use by apps/libs 
that rely on their current values?
MSG_KERNSPACE has the same value as  MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST in newer kernels, the 
latter being used internally only in the kernel.
However if there is no reliance on 0x20000 and 0x40000 being these specific 
values from existing apps - they'd be better alloted higher constants to avoid 
this and future overlaps with mainline kernel code.
