I'm afraid that even in that area, the changes and differences between
the original Net/[123] code and the -CURRENT trees of BSDs are far
more than a simple __P() change.  One who has to maintain the changes
done already in other parts and subsystems of the kernel that the TCP
stack changes depend on, has a lot more work to do.

I somehow fail to see the point of all this...
