Subject: [PATCH net-next] can-raw: add msg_flags to distinguish local
	traffic

CAN has no addressing scheme. It is currently impossible
for userspace to tell is a received CAN frame comes from
another process on the local host, or from a remote CAN
device.
This patch add support for userspace applications to distinguish
between 'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic.
Distinction is made by returning some flags in msg->msg_flags
in the call to recvmsg.
MSG_CONFIRM flag means 'own', as in 'transmission confirmation'
MSG_DONTROUTE flag means 'local', not routed.
Obviously, msgs with MSG_CONFIRM will have MSG_DONTROUTE set too.

Please note that on SocketCAN mailing list, different opinions
exist on the exact meaning of MSG_DONTROUTE. Better (=more
intuitive) alternatives are appreciated.
