It's no longer necessary and has been removed.
The only restriction on multi-task acess to sockets is that a socket  
can only have
one task blocked waiting for I/O.  For example, Task A can create a  
socket, Task B can read from it, Task C can write to it, but Task B  
can't do a blocking read while Task C is blocked waiting for a write  
to complete.
