Because I use OpenSSH, I was too lazy implementing SSH2 host name
completion ...

You can try this one:

---
(defun my-parse-shostkeys (dirname)
  "Return a list of (user host) tuples allowed to access.
User is always nil."
  (let ((regexp (concat "^key_[0-9]+_\\(" tramp-host-regexp "\\)\\.pub$"))
        (files (directory-files dirname))
        result)
    (while files
      (when (string-match regexp (car files))
        (push (list nil (match-string 1 (car files))) result))
      (setq files (cdr files)))
    result))

(tramp-set-completion-function "ssh"
 (append tramp-completion-function-alist-ssh
         '((my-parse-shostkeys "~/.ssh2/hostkeys"))))
---

Please let me know whether this works for you.
