I don't mind revising my patch, but I don't have a lot of interest in
making FileDescriptor play nice with it.

>From a quick inspection of the API docs I'd guess we're required to
provide SocketImpl.getFileDescriptor() etc. but that is an abstract
class... I don't see any requirement that we have to actually use the fd
for anything.  In particular the PlainSocketImpl class is outside the
scope of Sun's API and no user code will ever see an instance of it, so
I'm not sure why it should be bound to any particular behavior.

So my inclination is to resubmit the patch minus the SocketImpl changes.
