To get this done at init time I need inet6_stream_ops to be accessible, 
but it seems there is no EXPORT_SYMBOL() for this object.

However, I see that mptcp/protocol.c is happily accessing it.
Any clue how this is possible?

If I try to access it within ovpn I get the usual error:
ERROR: modpost: "inet6_stream_ops" [drivers/net/ovpn/ovpn.ko] undefined!

but mptcp compiles just fine.

Any hint?
