The backlog limit pre SMF for unix domain sockets was the same as the
rest of the services.  For SMF that was changed to 2.  If there was a
real reason for doing this then you might want to document the seperate
default.  If not then stick with 10.  The issue is going to be digging
through whatever old code review or deisgn documentation exists to try
to understand why the UDS limit was reduced.
