But this isn't like the rest of the sctp knobs. Disabling this violates
the base protocol and we don't really want to encourage
people to do this.
There was a long discussion about it back in 2009 when the original
patch was submitted that proposed a sysctl. Nothing has changed since
then to convince me that this sysctl would be a good idea.
