Subject: [PATCH lksctp-tools] A few things that should get the API closer to
 RFC6458 compliancy

Hey,

During my short master thesis I have come up with this code for adding
the following features:

* Support for sctp_sndinfo/sctp_rcvinfo/sctp_nxtinfo ancillary data.
This includes the SCTP_RECV{NXT,RCV}INFO socket options.
* Support for the SCTP_DEFAULT_SNDINFO socket option.
* Additionally, although not really a "feature", it should set the
SCTP_COMPLETE flag for complete messages now. I hope this is properly
done.

I have attached two patches. My recursive diff didn't catch any
changes to include/uapi/sctp.h for some reason, so I had to make
another one manually. (And I had to patch it with -p0, sorry.. I am
new to this.)

I am currently just looking for a review of the submitted code. I am
curious to know whether it can be used or not.

I have ported the sctp_sendv() and sctp_recvv() functions from
FreeBSD. I don't know if those are good enough to be submitted yet
though. Let me know what you think. Any feedback is good feedback for
my thesis.)

Best regards,
Geir Ola
