The full networking API is huge. So trying to put it all into net.rs
is unlikely to work in the long run. Maybe it would be better to name
this file based on the tiny little bit of the network API you are
writing an abstraction for?

If i'm reading the code correctly, you are abstracting the in kernel
socket API for only TCP over IPv4. Probably with time that will get
extended to IPv6, and then UDP. So maybe call this net-kern-socket.rs?
