I wonder if maybe we should accept this command only from the socket
owner? Is there a use case for something else?

Actually, then again, that's awkward because doing events and commands
on the same socket doesn't mix all _that_ well. Perhaps we just need to
fix that problem in libnl or something and be done with it ...
