Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 2/4] TCPCT part 1: initial SYN exchange with
 SYNACK data

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.

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.
