This patchset implements support of MSG_EOR bit for SEQPACKET AF_VSOCK sockets over virtio transport. First we need to define 'messages' and 'records' like this: Message is result of sending calls: 'write()', 'send()', 'sendmsg()' etc. It has fixed maximum length, and it bounds are visible using return from receive calls: 'read()', 'recv()', 'recvmsg()' etc. Current implementation based on message definition above. Record has unlimited length, it consists of multiple message, and bounds of record are visible via MSG_EOR flag returned from 'recvmsg()' call. Sender passes MSG_EOR to sending system call and receiver will see MSG_EOR when corresponding message will be processed. Idea of patchset comes from POSIX: it says that SEQPACKET supports record boundaries which are visible for receiver using MSG_EOR bit. So, it looks like MSG_EOR is enough thing for SEQPACKET and we don't need to maintain boundaries of corresponding send - receive system calls. But, for 'sendXXX()' and 'recXXX()' POSIX says, that all these calls operates with messages, e.g. 'sendXXX()' sends message, while 'recXXX()' reads messages and for SEQPACKET, 'recXXX()' must read one entire message from socket, dropping all out of size bytes. Thus, both message boundaries and MSG_EOR bit must be supported to follow POSIX rules. To support MSG_EOR new bit was added along with existing 'VIRTIO_VSOCK_SEQ_EOR': 'VIRTIO_VSOCK_SEQ_EOM'(end-of-message) - now it works in the same way as 'VIRTIO_VSOCK_SEQ_EOR'. But 'VIRTIO_VSOCK_SEQ_EOR' is used to mark 'MSG_EOR' bit passed from userspace. This patchset includes simple test for MSG_EOR.
