SCTP will delay the last part of a large write due to NAGLE, if that
part is smaller then MTU. Since we are doing large writes, we might
as well send the last portion now instead of waiting untill the next
large write happens. The small portion will be sent as is regardless,
so it's better to not delay it.
This is a result of much discussions with Wei Yongjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com>
and Doug Graham <dgraham@nortel.com>. Many thanks go out to them.

Currenlty, sctp breaks up user messages into fragments and
sends each fragment to the lower layer by itself. This means
that for each fragment we go all the way down the stack
and back up. This also discourages bundling of multiple
fragments when they can fit into a sigle packet (ex: due
to user setting a low fragmentation threashold).
We introduce a new command SCTP_CMD_SND_MSG and hand the
whole message down state machine. The state machine and
the side-effect parser will cork the queue, add all chunks
from the message to the queue, and then un-cork the queue
thus causing the chunks to get transmitted.

If the association has a SACK timer pending and now DATA queued
to be send, we'll try to bundle the SACK with the next application send.
As such, try encourage bundling by accounting for SACK in the size
of the first chunk fragment.

Since an application may specify the maximum SCTP fragment size
that all data should be fragmented to, we need to fix how
we do segmentation. Right now, if a user specifies a small
fragment size, the segment size can go negative in the presence
of AUTH or COOKIE_ECHO bundling.
What we need to do is track the largest possbile DATA chunk that
can fit into the mtu. Then if the fragment size specified is
bigger then this maximum length, we'll shrink it down. Otherwise,
we just use the smaller segment size without changing it further.

sctp_datamsg_free and sctp_datamsg_track are just aliases for
sctp_datamsg_put and sctp_chunk_hold, respectively.

I was notified by Randy Stewart that lksctp claims to be
"the reference implementation". First of all, "the
refrence implementation" was the original implementation
of SCTP in usersapce written ty Randy and a few others.
Second, after looking at the definiton of 'reference implementation',
we don't really meet the requirements.

SCTP-AUTH, Section 6.2:
Endpoints MUST send all requested chunks authenticated where this has
been requested by the peer. The other chunks MAY be sent
authenticated or not. If endpoint pair shared keys are used, one of
them MUST be selected for authentication.
To send chunks in an authenticated way, the sender MUST include these
chunks after an AUTH chunk. This means that a sender MUST bundle
chunks in order to authenticate them.
If the endpoint has no endpoint pair shared key for the peer, it MUST
use Shared Key Identifier 0 with an empty endpoint pair shared key.
If there are multiple endpoint shared keys the sender selects one and
uses the corresponding Shared Key Identifier

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
