Sorry to follow up, but I misspoke in my previous email, I should have said, why
do we only allow future associations as the only special case association id
here?  Since the function is meant to set a specific association id, it seems to
me that you would want to:

a) allow setting of a specific id
b) allow setting of all association ids on the socket
(SCTP_CURRENT_ASSOC)
c) allow recording of a set of params to apply to all current and future
associations (FUTURE/ALL).

(a) is already handled clearly, but (b) and (c) require more work on this
function than just checking association id on entry.

I think this comment may apply to all the socket option functions
