could ipporthash be extended/modified

[Mr Dash Four]

Currently the above type can only accept /16 (B-class) type addresses. 
Is there any reason for this limitation? Could this be extended to 
accept any IP address?

The reason I am asking this is because I have to revert to employing 
unsavoury gimmicks to get a pair of IP,port addresses as part of my 
ipset matching and it would be much easier if this was available through 
ipporthash (or similar) construct.

Is that a possibility?

The limitation makes possible to store the IP address and port data pair 
in 32 bits.

In the next ipset branch the limitation is lifted. That version will be 
announced and released next month, around the netfilter workshop.
