Converting the path cannot realistically be done due to size differences for the same path:

It does mean that sockaddr_to_unix() and sockaddr_from_unix() can't be used for AF_UNIX sockets, at least not with their current design. That may mean we should:
- change the function signature (always allocate instead of filling a fixed-size sockaddr union?)
- or handle AF_UNIX specially (like the way this patch set handles bind() and connect() specially)
- or just leave off sockaddr conversion in some functions for now—so mark sendto() and recvfrom() as FIXME cases like getpeername().
