From the point of view of the kernel, adding special cases for anything 
is usually a bad idea. Also, if we were to want to update that, and it 
was compiled into the kernel, we would have to re-release the kernel 
too, which would be unfortunate. Finally, there really isn't any 
advantage to a syscall: open() for socket() and ioctl() for the rest 
really work just as well, without any real speed problems.
