Temporary feature: Runtime tuneable tcp initial sequence number
generation scheme. Users may now select between the currently used
OpenBSD algorithm and the older random positive increment method.
While the OpenBSD algorithm is more secure, it also breaks TIME_WAIT
handling; this is causing trouble for an increasing number of folks.
To switch between generation schemes, one sets the sysctl
net.inet.tcp.tcp_seq_genscheme. 0 = random positive increments,
1 = the OpenBSD algorithm. 1 is still the default.
Once a secure _and_ compatible algorithm is implemented, this sysctl
will be removed.
