317a76f9a4 [TCP]: Add pluggable congestion control algorithm infrastructure.
Allow TCP to have multiple pluggable congestion control algorithms.
Algorithms are defined by a set of operations and can be built in
or modules.  The legacy "new RENO" algorithm is used as a starting
point and fallback.

314324121f [TCP]: Fix stretch ACK performance killer when doing ucopy.
When we are doing ucopy, we try to defer the ACK generation to
cleanup_rbuf().  This works most of the time very well, but if the
ucopy prequeue is large, this ACKing behavior kills performance.

With TSO, it is possible to fill the prequeue so large that by the
time the ACK is sent and gets back to the sender, most of the window
has emptied of data and performance suffers significantly.

This behavior does help in some cases, so we should think about
re-enabling this trick in the future, using some kind of limit in
order to avoid the bug case.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
