Subject: [net-next PATCH v5 0/3] net: TCP thin-stream latency-improving modifications

This is a series of patches enabling non-intrusive, dynamically 
triggered modifications that improve retransmission latencies 
for thin streams.

The patch set was modified according to the feedback received.

Major change:
      -Used bitfields to compact the nonagle variable
       in the tcp_sock struct. nonagle, thin_lto and
       thin_dupack is now contained in the same u8.

I decided to use bitfields to handle this as it is
already done similarly in the tcp_options_received struct.

Also corrected some formatting issues.

Cheers,
Andreas Petlund
