98181c4975 o Reflect changed default such that keepalives are always enabled by
default now.  Discuss why that's good.  Note that there are still
  some situations where turning it off may be advantageous, including
  situations where there are network outages and it's desirable to
  have TCP sessions last beyond the outage.

9aa92d5586 Moderate the recommendation that TCP keepalives always be turned on;
in some environments, this may result in the early termination of
legitimate TCP sessions during temporary network outages.  However,
maintain a strong recommendation that this be used when many network
clients are dialup.

25eecbb5a4 o Add an additional .Pp between the send/recvbuffer comments and
the ones on ipfw.  Note to self: why does ipfw/dummynet count as
  a sysctl in tuning(7)?

fe3e42064f o When describing kern.ipc.nsfbufs, use the slightly less colloquial
"modify" rather than the slightly more colloquial "mess with".

48c1691ebf vmiodirenable is now on by default; reflect that change in default,
and talk more about the reasons to turn it off (restricted memory
environments), and less about why to turn it on.

32a124764d Reword parts of tuning(7) regarding loader tunables, which are refered
to in the document as "boot-time sysctls".  Instead, refer to them as
loader tunables.

2fa7b7ca77 Update tuning so that it mentions maxusers, nmbclusters, and nsfbufs as

c1f3e4bf21 Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...
