  * Address warnings dealing with shortening 64-bit entities to 32-bit ones.
  * Clean up sctp_ctlinput(). Is the locking correct? Correct use of inetctlerrmap.
  * Fix a race in sctp_close() reported by Randell.
  * Fix a bug reported by Lucas.
  * Send an ABORT on reception of a SHUTDOWN in case you still are waiting for messages that are out of order (Have SSN =1 in queue but are waiting for SSN = 0).
  * Don't truncate RE-CONFIG parameters.
  * Clean up DENIED/FAILED returned in RE-CONFIG notifications.

  * Send appropriate Supported Address Types parameter. **Done**
  * Honor Supported Address Types parameter. How to deal with NAT64?
  * Double check interactions between explicit EOR mode and resetting the streams.
  * Double check the embedding of IPv6 scope ids. Make sure, SCTP works with link local addresses.
  * Fix bug reported by Robert Faulds, where an interface has link local and global IPv6 addresses.
  * Get SCTP checksum offloading working (again) for SCTP/IPv6 (igb, ixgbe).
  * Double check SCTP / IPSec / IPv[46].
  * sctp_findassociation_ep_asconf() doesn't decrement the refcount of the inp if a wildcard address is used.
  * Double check the SCTP_CHECK_AND_CAST in setsockopt handling of SCTP_CONNECT_X_COMPLETE.
  * When moving a path to PF, we send a HB. On timeout, we honour the applications choice to disable HBs. Fix this inconsistency.
