The socket subcall will continue to exist but we will transition over
to the explicit system calls over time.

Recently introduced socket calls are already doing it. Before the patch:

syscall_344(0x1, 0xfffc672daa0, 0xfffc672dab0, 0, 0, 0) = -1 (errno 88)

And after:

accept4(1, 0xfffe1e5af70, [128], 0)     = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation
on non-socket)

It is unfortunate the calls were not added in the same order as the old
socket subcall, we could have shared the table in strace. Too late now.

Anton
