<machine/param.h> should never be included by applications since
it is an implementation detail.

Specify including <sys/param.h> in apps which use the CMSG*() macros.
<sys/socket.h> doesn't depend on <*/param.h> unless these macros are used.
Since these macros are undocumented, applications that use them should
expect problems :-).
