I've been pondering the library change as well and the conclusion I've=20
come to is that we either introduce some ugliness into the=20
include/net/sctp.h or we break the API and force people to recompile.

This is really a result of breaking the API in the specification.  That
should not have been allowed, but we now have to live with it.

The good thing is the lksctp library has been unofficially tied to the=20
kernel for some time; however, we haven't had to deal with such blatant
API breakage yet.
