I'd say that this would be a really bad idea. It'd let any old
unprotected machine being masqueraded by a Linux machine to spoof a
connection from a privileged port on a trusted host. That seems like a
bad idea to me.
Admittedly, doing authentication based on privileged source ports is
stupid anyway, but there's no sense in reducing poor security to no
security at all.
