Start by solving one problem at a time. Source address selection
is a routing problem, if you want to add support for round-robin
source address selection then do that.
The next part of the problem is tcp_{v4,v6}_get_port(). Change it
check saddrs of all port owners in the main free port search loop.
Have fun :-)
