While that would be nice, I don't know that it's quite fair to require the
test to be converted before working on a possible fix.  The existing test
doesn't seem that hard to run by hand:

% cd work/freebsd/head/tools/regression/sockets/unix_passfd/
% make
=2E..
% > ./unix_passfd=20
beginning test1-simplesendfd
test1-simplesendfd passed
=2E..
beginning test8-rigths+creds+payload
unix_passfd: test8-rigths+creds+payload: recvmsg: 24 bytes received

I only say this because in the bug followup you seemed to have described a
possible solution so it seems that you would be able to develop a fix quick=
er
than other folks since you are already familiar with the issues involved.
(Also, you've fixed other related issues recently.)
