I've been tempted at looking into jail-ifying raw sockets as well, but time 
has precluded me from doing so (and from tracking -stable regularly). I 
must say that this virtualization sounds very promising in making the jail 
even more useful! And of course all the other avenues that are made 
possible with this. I guess the main/traditional question to ask first 
would be:
This change adds abstraction, therefore it probably reduces performance - 
by how much?

Thanks for the initiative Marko, I hope this will be seriously considered 
for inclusion (barring any negative side-effects of it). And I hope I'll 
have a chance to give it a test-drive soon! :)

Cheers,
/Johny
