Ok, so we agree that SO_PEERCGROUP is not a problem. And it solves the
problem for some of the use cases.

And there is lot of contention on the SO_PASSCGROUP option.

So how about taking one step at a time. Get SO_PEERCGROUP in first and
then get into more details on how SO_PASSCGROUP will exactly be used and
then decide what to do.

Thanks
