    net: sctp: introduce uapi header for sctp · 1b866434

    This patch introduces an UAPI header for the SCTP protocol,
    so that we can facilitate the maintenance and development of
    user land applications or libraries, in particular in terms
    of header synchronization.
    
    To not break compatibility, some fragments from lksctp-tools'
    netinet/sctp.h have been carefully included, while taking care
    that neither kernel nor user land breaks, so both compile fine
    with this change (for lksctp-tools I tested with the old
    netinet/sctp.h header and with a newly adapted one that includes
    the uapi sctp header). lksctp-tools smoke test run through
    successfully as well in both cases.
