   Hmmm. It seems that it might be better to add in the laddr if it contains
additional variable information, but I don't see how not doing so would be a
degenerate case when having a lot of IP aliases. The faddr, lport, and fport
are still just as variable as in the non-lots-of-aliases case, so the
hash distribution should be the same.
