* XXXRW: Would it be cleaner to free the tcptw here?
+ *
+ * Astute question indeed, from twtcp perspective there are
+ * three cases to consider:
+ *
+ * #1 tcp_detach is called at tcptw creation time by
+ * tcp_twstart, then do not discard the newly created tcptw
+ * and leave inpcb present until timewait ends
+ * #2 tcp_detach is called at timewait end (or reuse) by
+ * tcp_twclose, then the tcptw has already been discarded
+ * and inpcb is freed here
+ * #3 tcp_detach is called() after timewait ends (or reuse)
+ * (e.g. by soclose), then tcptw has already been discarded
+ * and inpcb is freed here
+ *
+ * In all three cases the tcptw should not be freed here.
