I think you mean check the IP address ... Correct?

I don't think you're missing anything, however, I think there are two pieces
to this: a) what should the new API support, and b) should we move the
existing code to the new API.

The new API (svc_xprt_find) does not currently search based on IP address
and therefore cannot be used for b). I think it should, however, since
svc_xprt_create can be used to create a listener on a specific IP
address/interface.
