This patch does the following:
   
        1. eliminates the fast/slow timeout lists for TCP and instead    
           uses a callout entry for each timer.
        2. Increases the TCP timer granularity to 10ms                  
        3. Implements "bad retransmit" recovery, as presented in
           "On Estimating End-to-End Network Path Properties", by
            Allman and Paxson.                                  

It has been used for a while in various places, and I'd like to 
invite more comments before committing it to -current.  The patches
are at http://www.freebsd.org/~jlemon.  Be sure to read the notes
at the top of the patch as well.
