The only thing that https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=a8b70cf26030d68631200619bd1b0ad35b34b6b8 did was move two static inline functions from sys/netinet/tcp_var.h to sys/netinet/tcp.h, and it looks like the former header is never directly included by ports. The latter is, so those ports should be switched to C99, or the sys/netinet/tcp.h header should be fixed to use __inline instead.

TCP is now using flags that are not contained in the th_flags field anymore,
but also use the th_x2 field.

People were assuming that all flags are in th_flags and th_x2 is not used and
used it for internal processing. This was causing problems.

Using the accessor functions hides the split between th_flags and th_x2.
See, for example,
https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=a8b70cf26030d68631200619bd1b0ad35b34b6b8 <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=a8b70cf26030d68631200619bd1b0ad35b34b6b8>;

That might be possible. A kernel build with this completes. Haven't checked a
buildlworld. Will report when its done.
