whoops forgot to reply all.

before I CC netdev, what does PROTO_CMSG_DATA_ONLY actually mean? I
didn't find a clear explanation anywhere by searching the kernel, only
that it was defined as 1 and flagged on inet_stream_ops and
inet6_stream_ops.

there must be a reason it was not initially included for dgrams?

but yes if there's nothing standing in the way of adding it for
dgrams, and it covers UDP_SEGMENT and UDP_GRO then that's of course
the least friction solution here.
