It splits up the argument parsing from the actual handling, ok. Looks
good. Just one point:

Please add a comment saying that sctp_sack_info.sack_delay maps
exactly to sctp_assoc_value.assoc_value, so that's why we can do
memcpy and read assoc_value as sack_delay. I think it will help us not
trip on this again in the future.
