"Exclusive connections" are meant to be used for a single client call and
then scrapped. The idea is to limit the use of the negotiated security
context. The current code, however, isn't doing this: it is instead
restricting the socket to a single virtual connection and doing all the
calls over that.
This is changed such that the socket no longer maintains a special virtual
connection over which it will do all the calls, but rather gets a new one
each time a new exclusive call is made.
Further, using a socket option for this is a poor choice. It should be
done on sendmsg with a control message marker instead so that calls can be
marked exclusive individually. To that end, add RXRPC_EXCLUSIVE_CALL
which, if passed to sendmsg() as a control message element, will cause the
call to be done on an single-use connection.
The socket option (RXRPC_EXCLUSIVE_CONNECTION) still exists and, if set,
will override any lack of RXRPC_EXCLUSIVE_CALL being specified so that
programs using the setsockopt() will appear to work the same.

Simplify the RxRPC connect() implementation. It will just note the
destination address it is given, and if a sendmsg() comes along with no
address, this will be assigned as the address. No transport struct will be
held internally, which will allow us to remove this later.
Simplify sendmsg() also. Whilst a call is active, userspace refers to it
by a private unique user ID specified in a control message. When sendmsg()
sees a user ID that doesn't map to an extant call, it creates a new call
for that user ID and attempts to add it. If, when we try to add it, the
user ID is now registered, we now reject the message with -EEXIST. We
should never see this situation unless two threads are racing, trying to
create a call with the same ID - which would be an error.
It also isn't required to provide sendmsg() with an address - provided the
control message data holds a user ID that maps to a currently active call.

Declare the security index constants symbolically rather than just referring
to them numerically.

Provide AF_RXRPC sockets that can be used to talk to AFS servers, or serve
answers to AFS clients. KerberosIV security is fully supported. The patches
and some example test programs can be found in:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/
This will eventually replace the old implementation of kernel-only RxRPC
currently resident in net/rxrpc/.
