Reading the PCI config space with the wrong (larger) size is not
a problem in this case, but writing can be as it clobbers unrelated
registers. In this case the clobbering is for reserved fields, which
too is mostly harmless... for now. Hence, this change is mostly
preventive in nature.
o Expand on MAC policy enforcement on network interfaces
o Add cross-references to su(1) and setfsmac(8) where appropriate
o Comment out mmap revocation sysctls as they are a bit too experimental
o Add the standard BUGS section

- Use these instead of the magic constants 1 or PAGE_SIZE where appropriate.
There are still numerous assumptions that the page directory is exactly
1 page.

Security improvements:
- Increase the size of each syncookie secret from 32 to 128 bits
in order to make brute force attacks on the secrets much more
difficult.
- Always return the lowest order dword from the MD5 hash; this
allows us to expose 2 more bits of the cookie and makes ACK
floods which seek to guess the cookie value more difficult.
Performance improvements:
- Increase the lifetime of each syncookie from 4 seconds to 16
seconds. This increases the usefulness of syncookies during
an attack.
- From Yahoo!: Reduce the number of calls to MD5Update; this
results in a ~17% increase in cookie generation time here.
