The advantage on using kernel_setsockopt here is that sctp module will
only be loaded if dlm actually creates a SCTP socket.  With this
change, sctp will be loaded on setups that may not be actually using
it. It's a quite big module and might expose the system.

I'm okay with the SCTP changes, but I'll defer to DLM folks to whether
that's too bad or what for DLM.

True.  Not that the intent is to kill kernel space callers of setsockopt,
as I plan to remove the set_fs address space override used for it.  So
if always pulling in sctp is not an option for the DLM maintainers we'd
have to do tricks using symbol_get() or similar.

The same would also apply for ipv6, although I'm not sure how common
modular ipv6 is in practice.

I didn't see these sneak through.

There is a big long list of SCTP socket options that are
needed to make anything work.

They all need exporting.

So for ipv6 I could just move the helpers inline as they were trivial
and avoid that issue.  But some of the sctp stuff really is way too
big for that, so the only other option would be to use symbol_get.

For getsockopt, does it make sense to have the core kernel load optval/optlen
into a buffer before calling the protocol driver?  Then the driver need not
see the userspace pointer at all.

Similar could be done for setsockopt - allocate a buffer of the size requested
by the user inside the kernel and pass it into the driver, then copy the data
back afterwards.
