man vsock(7) mentions IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID vs. VMADDR_CID_LOCAL:

   Ioctls
       ...
       IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID
              ...
              Consider using VMADDR_CID_ANY when binding instead of
              getting the local CID with IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID.

   Local communication
       ....
       The local CID obtained with IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID can be
       used for the same purpose, but it is preferable to use
       VMADDR_CID_LOCAL.

I was wondering it that would need some rewriting, since we're adding
VMADDR_CID_LOCAL as a possible ioctl's return value.
