(Sigh. sorry for the misfire, thanks for fixing cc).

No 3rd party modules. There's a tiny patch for controlling initcwnd from
userspace and another one for the extra_free_kbytes tunable that I brought
up in another thread. We've had the initcwnd patch in for a long time
without trouble. The extra_free_kbytes tunable isn't even being used yet,
so all that's doing is adding a 0 somewhere.

Only two iptables rules loaded: global NOTRACK rules for PREROUTING/OUTPUT
in raw.

Kernel's as close to pristine as I can make it. We had the 10g patch in
but I've dropped it.
