the problem with opt_scpt is that it's not available during module 
compilation.

my other solution:

-we define 2 functions ptrs: update_crc32_ptr and 
sctp_finalize_crc32_ptr, and initialize them with NULL
-during the SCPT initialization path, we set those 2 ptrs to point to 
the actual SCTP functions
-in alias_sctp.c, we check the value:
 -in case it's NULL, SCTP wasn't compiled in and thus we return 0
 -else we call the pointed functions

the only remaining open problem is where to put these 2 ptrs: it has to 
be a place that is always compiled in, but on the other hand
we should limit pollution.
