We'll turn off the silent stream feature as there's a known deadlock bug that remains in 5.10.5. Perhaps we'll restore it once that's patched... but we made it this far without the feature so I'll probably wait for a case to be made for it. Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina. Also build the intelfb module. This doesn't have anything to do with the lockups occurring on Intel systems, but we might as well provide the module. It remains blacklisted by default.

This release contains a security fix: A malicious peer could have modified a COOKIE-ECHO chunk in a SCTP packet in a way that potentially resulted in a use-after-free. We presume that with enough effort it could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
