I'm basically against new networking procfs based information
retrieval mechanisms.

Please extend the netlink socket dumping so that it works with
AF_UNIX sockets and subsequently added the necessary netlink
attribute to provide the peer value.

I plan to stand pretty firm on this, so you may want to save your
effort and use said effort to implement this properly.

Thanks.
