Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH v4 2/3] TCPCT part 1b: sysctl_tcp_cookie_size,
 socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS, functions

Define sysctl (tcp_cookie_size) to turn on and off the cookie option
default globally, instead of a compiled configuration option.

Define per socket option (TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS) for setting constant
data values, retrieving variable cookie values, and other facilities.

Redefine two TCP header functions to accept TCP header pointer.
When subtracting, return signed int to allow error checking.

Move inline tcp_clear_options() unchanged from net/tcp.h to linux/tcp.h,
near its corresponding struct tcp_options_received (prior to changes).

This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley).  The patch was previously reviewed:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.
