It seems reasonable to be consistent in the amount of send space we 
reserve for both SOCK_RAW and SOCK_DGRAM in netinet.

I agree however that this is really the application's problem -- it 
should probe for interface MTU and set SO_SENDBUF accordingly, and this 
is what I originally told the submitter.
