This fixes several breakages (panics) since the tcp_lro code was
committed that have been reported. Quite a few new features are
now in rack (prefecting of DGP -- Dynamic Goodput Pacing among the
largest). There is also support for ack-war prevention. Documents
comming soon on rack..

have been made in rack and adds a few fixes in BBR. This also
removes any possibility of incorrectly doing OOB data the stacks
do not support it. Should fix the skyzaller crashes seen in the
past. Still to fix is the BBR issue just reported this weekend
with the SYN and on sending a RST. Note that this version of
rack can now do pacing as well.

gets both rack and bbr ready for the completion of the STATs
framework in FreeBSD. For now if you don't have both NF_stats and
stats on it disables them. As soon as the rest of the stats framework
lands we can remove that restriction and then just uses stats when
defined.

is a completely separate TCP stack (tcp_bbr.ko) that will be built only if
you add the make options WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=1 and also include the option
TCPHPTS. You can also include the RATELIMIT option if you have a NIC interface that
supports hardware pacing, BBR understands how to use such a feature.
Note that this commit also adds in a general purpose time-filter which
allows you to have a min-filter or max-filter. A filter allows you to
have a low (or high) value for some period of time and degrade slowly
to another value has time passes. You can find out the details of
BBR by looking at the original paper at:
https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3022184
or consult many other web resources you can find on the web
referenced by "BBR congestion control". It should be noted that
BBRv1 (which this is) does tend to unfairness in cases of small
buffered paths, and it will usually get less bandwidth in the case
of large BDP paths(when competing with new-reno or cubic flows). BBR
is still an active research area and we do plan on implementing V2
of BBR to see if it is an improvement over V1.
