You should update the comments on inet_open_active() and
inet_open_passive() to describe the new format of their 'dscp'
parameters.

I think that the assert() in set_dscp() is a bit too much.  DSCP
values can come from the user and a bit of missing validation code
somewhere along the line could abort the program.  I'd be more
inclined to log a warning and return an error (EINVAL?).

The DSCP_DEFAULT macro expansion should be surrounded by ().

Otherwise this looks good to me.  Thank you!
