I am against using rhashtable in SCTP (or TCP) at this stage, given the
number of bugs we have with it.
Come on Eric, we've largely dealt with all of these problems.  I haven't
seen a serious report in a while.
Well there is still the outstanding issue with softirq insertion
potentially failing with ENOMEM if we fail to expand the hash
table using just kmalloc.

So if the target user does softirq insertions, I would wait until
the fix for that is ready.

Thanks,
