Maybe its just a little early, but I'm rather lost as to how this works.  When
you insert a key to the rhltable, its a sctp_hash_cmp_arg that gets inserted,
which is a struct that consists of a sctp_addr union, a struct net, and a u16,
but when you traverse the list for lookup, you treat the returned list as a list
of sctp_transport structs that you compare.  That seems very wrong.
