[PATCH 1/1] Add 'Transport Interface' (triface) option. This can be used to specify the IP interface to use for the connection. The driver uses that to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on the socket before connecting.

Given that this was the original intent for host_traddr, why not have
host_traddr resolve the iface from the address and set sockopt
SO_BINDTODEVICE on it?
