procedurally, I'm not really fine with this because then we have to 
change anyway the native HIP API. It is already referring to 
SHIM_LOC_PEER_PREF, SHIM_LOCLIST_PEER and SHIM_LOC_PEER_SEND:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-hip-native-api-12#section-4.6

Technically, I am not convinced if having a separate constant for 
initial locator is really needed.

It seems that we have the following options:

1. Override the statement in the native HIP API draft
2. Remove the statement in the SHIM API
3. Cross-reference the native HIP API draft
4. Document the exception for HIP in the SHIM API

I would be in favor of 2 and perhaps 3. What about others?
