It is rather hard, because the low level protocols all only support one
bound address or 0. Particularly the input hash multiplexing depends on
this, you would need to modify the hash search function in udp.c/tcp_ipv4.c/
ip_input.c(for raw sockets) and extend the struct sock to contain a list of
addresses.
