Hm ok, i see. I've implemented logic when non-empty transport is required, because hyperv transport
forbids to set SO_RCVLOWAT, so user needs to call this setsockopt AFTER transport is assigned(to check
that transport allows it. Not after socket creation as You mentioned above). Otherwise there is no sense
in such callback - it will be never used. Also in code above - for hyperv we will have different behavior
depends on when set_rcvlowat is called: before or after transport assignment. Is it ok?
