Yes indeed it is not clear. In my opinion we can do one of these 2
things:

1. Update the message, where we can say that this is a preparation patch
    for the next changes where af_vsock.c will directly return transport
    values to the user, so we need to return an errno.

2. Merge this patch and patch 3 in a single patch.

Both are fine for my point of view, take your choice ;-)

Thanks,
