Setting the message type was an example of things that require kernel
support in the local case. Obviously you cannot send SMB requests on a
socketpair.

In the remote case, what we need is for the kernel to manage the whole
protocol, so that we can do read() and write() calls as if it were a
normal socket. You cannot manage the protocol in the client process,
it breaks down as soon as two threads (or worse, processes) share the
same pipe.
