I noticed that the code around the IPSTATE_SIZE and IPSTATE_MAX constants
in:
src/contrib/ipfilter/ip_state.h
src/sys/contrib/ipfilter/netinet/ip_state.h

has changed and there was a line added to:
src/contrib/ipfilter/HISTORY

"allow state/nat table sizes to be externally influenced"

I had suggested that a sysctl knob, or a kernel config file knob be added
to control these.  Does this mean that the knob exists?  I looked in the
man page for sysctl and did not see anything, nor did I see anything in
LINT about it.

Am I looking in the wrong place, or was that change just a preparation for
adding the knob?
