Here is the regenerated patch.

To write a test case I would need a PF_SYSTEM socket to connect to. As far as I 
know Mac OS X doesn't provide a demo socket for this.

[issue13777] socket: communicating with Mac OS X KEXT controls

[Michael Goderbauer]

New submission from Michael Goderbauer :

Mac OS X provides a socket-based API to communicate with Kernel Extensions 
(KEXTs) called "KEXT Controls". For this, Mac OS X defines PF_SYSTEM as a new 
socket domain which supports the SYSPROTO_CONTROL protocol.

Right now the PF_SYSTEM domain and the SYSPROTO_CONTROL protocol are not 
supported by Python's socket module. I am attaching a patch that introduces 
support for both.

More information on KEXT Controls can be found here:
