Are there cases of userspace API structures where the flexiable array
appears in the middle? I assume this new compiler flag is not only for
use in the kernel? When it gets turned on in user space, will the
kernel headers will again produce warnings? Should we be considering
allowing user space to opt in to using sockaddr_legacy?
