Sorry, this looks somewhat weird, why not just export
inet_is_reserved_local_port()?

My understanding is that if we do that than we won't be able to inline 
inet_is_reserved_local_port().  And as David said previously that will have a 
significant impact on performance.

Oh, that would be true probably, so just leave as it is.

Thanks.
