No worries, though I would also like to apologize as I find that the
explanation I gave in my last email was a little all over the place.
To clarify my last e-mail, I believe the current msghdr struct layout in
QEMU is libc-agnostic, but not kernel agnostic. Rather, the current msghdr
struct layou

The mixing of libc and kernel versions of the layout of the `msghdr`
struct causes EMSGSIZE to be returned by sendmsg if the `msghdr` struct
is not zero-initialized (such that padding bytes comprise of
uninitialized memory).
Other parts of the QEMU codebase appear to zero-initialize the `msghdr`
s
Sure,
The bytes of `msghdr` need to be cleared because the `msghdr` struct layout
specified in QEMU appears to generalize between the definitions of `msghdr`
across different libc's and kernels. To appropriately generalize `msghdr`
across libc's and kernels would either:
1. require specializing c
