Can you explain the problem you are having?  I'm specifically interested in 
who is calling secid_to_secctx() on a AF_UNIX stream packet.

Adding the secid token to a AF_UNIX stream packet isn't likely to be the right 
solution, although until we hear what the core problem is, I'm not sure we can 
offer any fixes.
