I think it is pretty plain that for sockio ioctls, the file descriptor shall be
a socket one ("Socket ioctl() commands are a subset of the ioctl() calls, which
can perform a variety of functions on sockets. sockfd shall contain the value of
a file descriptor that was created with the socket() or accept() calls.").
Further, if you do not pass a socket fd, you should get ENOTTY:

"ENOTTY

    The specified request does not apply to the kind of object that the
descriptor sockfd references."

And I'm not sure I like "handful" ... too vague. Let's discuss this on the next
confcall.
