Descripción
The socketcan implementation is using `MSG_DONTROUTE` flag instead of `MSG_CONFIRM` flag to set the `is_rx` message field. This breaks applications where virtual can interface is used, because all messages originate from the same host and thus `is_rx` is always false. IMO the correct behavior should be to use `MSG_CONFIRM` flag instead, but this could break some existing applications if they use two instances of the same socket simultaneously. Opinions?
