Subject: net-next-2.6 [PATCH 1/1] tcp: add missing initial window (RFC
	3390) for tcp_output

Please can you have a look, I have checked it, appears to be correct
and compiles cleanly. Thanks again to Ilpo.

Thanks to Ilpo Jarvinen, his updates also the initial window
setting for tcp_output with regard to RFC 5681.
