(extended cc line to include fedora and upstream selinux lists).
There are no netif-based checks during bind(2). There can be
netif-based checks during packet send/recv, but the legacy checks were
obsoleted and removed as I noted, and the newer checks require
additional configuration (iptables for SECMARK, netlabel or ipsec for
labeled networking).
