tcp_fastopen - INTEGER
        Enable TCP Fast Open feature (draft-ietf-tcpm-fastopen) to send data
        in the opening SYN packet. To use this feature, the client application
        must use sendmsg() or sendto() with MSG_FASTOPEN flag rather than
        connect() to perform a TCP handshake automatically.

        The values (bitmap) are
        1: Enables sending data in the opening SYN on the client.
        2: Enables TCP Fast Open on the server side, i.e., allowing data in
           a SYN packet to be accepted and passed to the application before
           3-way hand shake finishes.
        4: Send data in the opening SYN regardless of cookie availability and
           without a cookie option.
        0x100: Accept SYN data w/o validating the cookie.
        0x200: Accept data-in-SYN w/o any cookie option present.
        0x400/0x800: Enable Fast Open on all listeners regardless of the
           TCP_FASTOPEN socket option. The two different flags designate two
           different ways of setting max_qlen without the TCP_FASTOPEN socket
           option.

        Default: 0

        Note that the client & server side Fast Open flags (1 and 2
        respectively) must be also enabled before the rest of flags can take
        effect.

        See include/net/tcp.h and the code for more details.
