The following is a set of patches that updates the SCTP ADD-IP implementation
to conform to the recently published RFC.

ADD-IP is a SCTP Dynamic Address Configuration extensions, whereby
the two end systems can dynamically modify the address lists for a given
connection.  One of the applications of this is mobility.  The systems
exchange Address Configuration (ASCONF) and Address Configuration
Acknowlegement (ASCONF-ACK) messages which contain the info.  If you
want more info the operation, read RFC 5061.

The implementation in lksctp was a few years old and implemented draft-05
of the specification.  So this long overdue.
